The Senate on Wednesday cleared the last procedural hurdle on landmark
healthcare reform legislation and is positioned to pass the bill on
Christmas Eve.
Democrats
united against Republicans, voting 60-39 to end debate on the
underlying bill. No Republicans voted for cloture. Sen. Jim Bunning
(R-Ky.) was absent.
