Health Care Chatter

Monday came and went with no big change in the health care reform landscape. In fact, around 80 members in the House didn't even show up for the few votes that were held on Monday evening.

You can see if your member was there at for the third and final vote of the night at clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/roll834.xml

As for progress, Democrats met behind closed doors Monday evening, still trying to gauge the changes needed in the bill in order to get 218 votes for the plan in the House.

We'll see if we get that "manager's amendment" today or not. Every hour that goes by without it, means that we are closer and closer to having debate over the weekend.
