Okay, so I was wondering who was on the Senate Finance Committee, since they are the ones slowing things down on the Senate side. And there are 13 (corrected - thank you) Democrats and 10 Republicans - which makes me wonder - why do we need the Republicans at all? I think we know the answer, because some Democrats won't support the President. Let's take a look at the list:
Democrats:
MAX BAUCUS, MT
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER IV, WV
KENT CONRAD, ND
JEFF BINGAMAN, NM
JOHN F. KERRY, MA
BLANCHE L. LINCOLN, AR
RON WYDEN, OR
CHARLES E. SCHUMER, NY
DEBBIE STABENOW, MI
MARIA CANTWELL, WA
BILL NELSON, FL
ROBERT MENENDEZ, NJ
THOMAS CARPER, DE
REPUBLICANS
CHUCK GRASSLEY, IA
ORRIN G. HATCH, UT
OLYMPIA J. SNOWE, ME
JON KYL, AZ
JIM BUNNING, KY
MIKE CRAPO, ID
PAT ROBERTS, KS
JOHN ENSIGN, NV
MIKE ENZI, WY
JOHN CORNYN, TX
So what do we know about the Democrats on this list? Who's for us, and who is against us on the Health Care bill?
