When it looked like all was lost following the defeat of HR 6331 last week the bill has new hope. It looks like the key vote here will be Republican Sen Arlan Spector. He had supported S. 3101 but after some last minute lobbying by the white house changed his vote on HR. 6331. Well since his vote he has been trying to explain himself to the powerful doctors lobby who have supported him and Republicans in the past. This news has prompted Sen Majority Leader Harry Reid to call for another vote when the senate return from the July 4th break.
Keep your fingers crossed on this one. Its gonna be a squeaker.
