rose: welcome to the broadcast. in what may be a historic day on the way to health care reform, the senate finance committee by a vote of 14-9 passed a bill. we ll talk about it with ezra klein of the washington post. there are two things. one is snowe s involvement is a really big deal. the other is that democrats have a realization they didn t have in 1994. so in 1994 health care reform began to get unpopular, clinton was suffering under a number of scandals at that point and they began to abandon it basically. what happened then is they suffered losses like they have never suffered before and as far as i know haven t since in the 1994 elections. they lost the congress for the first time in 40 years. they lost more than 50 seats. so i think s a real understanding among both moderate and liberal democrats among the leadership, among the white house that either this passes and we can all run on a success together or it fails and we can all lose our elections together.
