Senate To Put Lump Of Coal In Our Stockings Today ***Update** Bill Passes

This from MyWayNews:

Senate Democrats are poised to pass a landmark health care bill that could define President Barack Obama's legacy and usher in near-universal medical coverage for the first time in the country's history.

After 24 consecutive days of debate - the second-longest such stretch ever - the final vote on the Democrats' 10-year, nearly $1 trillion bill is set for early Thursday, Christmas Eve morning. It will be the Senate's first Christmas Eve vote since 1895, when the matter at hand was a military affairs bill concerning employment of former Confederate officers, according to the Senate Historical Office.

"We will always remember this day," said Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn.

Indeed we will sir, indeed we will.  And unfortunately so will our children.

***UPDATE*** The Bill passed 60-39.
