Early Monday morning, around 1:00am EST, Senate Democrats voted 60-40 to end debate on the manager's amendment to the health insurance reform bill that was introduced early Saturday morning. This marks the first of six crucial votes that need to occur on the Senate floor for the bill to pass into conference committee with the House health bill that was passed in early November. Majority leader Harry Reid (D-NV) intends on holding the sixth and final vote around 7:00pm Thursday night.
