Its a sad day for the health care debate when so many of our strong, Democratic Senators who originally swore that they wouldn’t vote for a public option-less bill start to waver. This is when I thank God for Russ Feingold:
Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) was described as the last holdout in the room for the public option. He won a small concession by having the group send a proposal to the Congressional Budget Office that includes a “trigger,” but it’s unclear whether that provision will survive the next round of negotiations.
Thank you, again, Senator Feingold for “standing up for us”.
