Yes, technically, Obamacare is one step closer to fruition.
But the fact that the "bipartisan" bill that took months of negotiations only received the vote of one Republican (and not a shocking one at that) means that the same problems that have faced this reform for the past four months still exist.
The committee bill does not have a public option. So, liberals will hate it. On the floor of the Senate, they will likely add the public option. So, moderates will then hate it. It's still the same problem.
However, I don't want to downplay the importance of people remaining outspoken against this thing. We all need to continue to speak out and make sure out congresspeople know we will vote them out of office if they pass this thing. Now is not the time to get complacent.
Oh, and apparently only Republicans who support Obama have "seriousness of purpose." What an ass.

They need to understand the bill before they vote for it.
they don't have time for that - they have to quickly pass this without reading it even though it wont take effect til after the reelection...
