Sen. Ben Nelson (Neb.), the final Democratic holdout on health care, was prepared to announce to his caucus Saturday morning that he would support the Senate reform bill, clearing the way for final passage by Christmas.
"We're there," said Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), as he headed into a special meeting to announce the deal.

May God damn every Senator who votes for this. Every last one.
Every Democrat has his price.
Start Scotus petition immediately to declare it UNCONSTITIONAL. The GOV. cannot install or regulate health care. We still have a little bit of our Constitution left and all Sup Court Justices arnt lib slime.
America elected these clowns.
As a democratic republic, we get the government we ask for.
May our children forgive us for destroying their future.
Too many Republicans have theirs too.
Nelson is taking everyone for fools. None of his agreement eliminates abortion funding.
Pfui. The kids I know (I know a few) love Obama.
Pain is our salvation.
So much for principled opposition to abortion, eh Sen. Nelson. To murder a few more million babies, I guess all you need is a little pork with your treason.
phucking bastards...so were now bound to BUY health care
coverage....and pay taxes on it..
no tort reform..
For sure, including Norm Coleman or the Republican party, whoever got bought off to drop the challenge before it got to the Supremes.
So many willing to sell us out.
Frankly, I expected it from every Senator with a (D) after their name.
I imagine at least 1/3 to 1/2 of the Senators with an (R) after their name will vote for it too.
In the spirit of bipartisanship and reaching across the aisle.
Then they’ll go home for Christmas recess and say it means nothing, cause it will not survive through the Joint House/Senate Conference Committee.
They are blowing more smoke up our collective derrieres than Carter has got little liver pills.
This bill was a done deal months ago.
All the hashing out was just rearranging deck chairs to benefit as many politicians as possible politically.
That is a fact Jack!
We the people are now "We the Chumps"!
I knew they would do it and I knew they would do it on Christmas Eve.
A SAD DAY. 
German Children loved Hitler. It was their parents who put him in power.
They will indeed. But when was the last time the GOP ever repealed anything like this. Even from 2001 to 2007 when they had full control over the government they never repealed or scaled back a single entitlement.
Even if the GOP does win (I doubt they will), and it does mount a repeal effort, this will be vetoed by 0bama, and the GOP won't have enough votes to overcome this.
Most any one can be bought for the right price, just like Judas for thirty pieces of silver. Besides in order to be a liberal or socialist ones convictions and morals have to be pretty flexible.
