HEALTH CARE UPDATE

It looks like the health care bill in the Senate will come up for a vote in a couple of hours. If you want a Starter-Kit for understanding why our health care debate has gone off track check this out. As Paul Krugman put it, the U.S. Senate appears to be seriously "dysfunctional." What this means is that influence peddling in America is alive and well.

Incredible as this sounds, as lousy as the bill is, it may still be better than the status quo.

Still, keep in mind that this morning's vote (scheduled for 1 A.M.) won't be the final vote. The Conference Committee will have their say too.
