The Senate Finance Commitee finally comes out with there healthcare plan

In big political news the Senate Finance Committee has finally published their health care plan and...no one likes it. After the Democrates have buckled a million times the Republicans continue to say they will not vote for reform. In addition, Democrats are saying that the bill is far to weak to pass the House. Congressman Anthony Weiner, a progressive leader on the issue, said

"While we all should commend these six Senators for their sincere
efforts, it is clear that their product fails to achieve two important
goals of the plan: cost containment and true choice. Only a public
option does that."

Obama and many politicians saw this bill as the 'bi-partisan' compromise but with its lack of support the future of health care reform is unknown. This could be very good...or VERY bad.
