[Update, 7:55p, Sun, Mar 21: Health Care Reform passed in a vote of 219-212 with (of course) not a single Republican to thank.]
Well, Sunday's (March 21) the day. It's happening NOW. The watered-down, better-than-nothing health care reform is going up for a vote. 216 is the magic number. What does this all mean? Well that's way out of the full scope of this blog, but I did want to offer some helpful info for those that are following or want to follow what's going on.
- First up, here's a brief timeline of what to expect in the health care vote throughout today from MSNBC.
- Looking for the actual play-by-play? Here's some liveblogging of the House vote to follow from the New York Times.
- What's the House voting on? (and 4 other useful questions/answers from the Washington Post)
- How are folks expected to vote? What about your rep? NYT provides a clear chart.
- Apparently in the latest round of health care reform bills (it's not just one proposal, but a whole package), our politicians seemed to have left out the gay. Some say all is not lost and this is just the base package that can be added to later.
- Here's more info from Queerty about Congress leaving out special health reform for the LGBT community.
- ...and, what's all this health care reform mean to you? The Washington Post breaks it down.
