This is an acceptable story on the politics relating to passage of health insurance reform, with minimal discussion of the content of the bill in question.
Good reporting on the landmark vote for a health care reform bill by the Senate Finance Committee. The report centers on Senator Olympia Snowe's comments, as she was the only Republican to support the bill. But it also cites other sources on both sides of the aisle, and provides good context to help us interpret this important event.
I like the detailed report. It is well-sourced, filed by two well known journalists, and backed by an expert.
This is a straightforward news report on the Senate Finance Committee's vote on health care legislation. There are the facts, a few quotes and no analysis.
this piece has more information about the budget and how the numbers add up than some which carry the same story with senatorial sources.
It seems that an awfully high price was paid to gain a single Republican vote. I would think a strong reform bill without that one vote would have better served the American people.
