At this point my > 50% odds scenario is that we get something like the present Senate bill with its subsidies, excise tax, no denials for preexisting conditions nor recissions, the FEHBP-like national nonprofit on exchanges, no public option, no Medicare buy-ins, and it passes with Snowe's vote. That could be 61 for cloture, but I would bet on 60 without Ben Nelson.
Not a happy day for those of us on the right, but a small enough pill that I won't be gagging.
And it'll sure be a relief to finally have this health reform hoopla behind us.
