GOP Senator Snowe Will Vote For Health Reform

Senator Olympia Snow (R-Maine) said that she would back the Democrats' plan for health care reform. During a Senate Finance Committee meeting, she said, "Is this bill all that I would want? Far from it. Is it all that it can be? No. But when history calls, history calls... The mark before us produces some bipartisan landmark reforms. It bolsters what works in the system and engenders quality and competition."

Mr Mel

Limbaugh would have never approved her. All Republican choices have to be run by him. McCain, like W, would have been a hand puppet, Bush for Cheney and McCain for Limbaugh.

Wow. So that's her reasoning? No wonder this country is going to hell in a handbasket with unintelligible "leaders" like this.
