Poll question: You be the bookie!!

Edited on Tue Oct-13-09 09:43 AM by TheCoxwain

What will be your odds of the Health care bill getting out of the finance committee

On edit

Long odds = low probability.

so if you think healthcare is very likely to pass finance committee then your odds will be closer to 1/100 than 100/1

I am fairly sure we will get something titled, Public Option, but I don't know if this public option will be worth much in the beginning. Even some, but not all, of Obama's super fans have been trying to brace us with statements similar to, "The President can only do so much." <---This quote is a paraphrase of a few statements I have read on DU and is not an actual quote.
