WASHINGTON - Exultant Senate Democrats pushed President Barack Obama's landmark health care overhaul past a final procedural hurdle Wednesday, setting up a Christmas Eve vote to pass the legislation extending coverage to 30 million Americans.
Democrats voted 60-39 to end a GOP filibuster and move to a final vote Thursday. All 58 Democrats and two independents hung together against unanimous Republican opposition.
It was the 24th day of debate on the 10-year, nearly $1 trillion bill.
"It is now only hours until this Senate will pass meaningful health care reform," said Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont.

The decision to end debate came in on day one and was certified when Al Franken (D-ouchebag) refused to allow Joe Lieberman an additional 30 seconds to conclude his remarks.
Hey Joe, you got what you deserved if you voted to shut the hell up.

With every kick to the gut, the ache lingers longer and longer but gradually goes away. Not this time. Not this time.
