Health care reform: Is it over yet? (No, it's not)

The long-awaiting Senate Finance Committee vote on the health care bill came today and guess what? They voted to send the bill to the Senate floor! The vote split down party lines with a much-mentioned yes vote from Republican Olympia Snowe. So that means we're done right? Not so fast. Next up: Plenty more political wrangling on Capitol Hill. Lots of it. Keep in mind, the Senate still has to vote, there will probably be further amendments to the bill, AND the House is still working on their version of the bill.

While we wait, here's a fun interactive feature from the NY Times: Health Care Conversations.

And also a Collective Journalism piece about one young woman's search for health insurance.
