How does Gramm make 99 other senators go along?

the same way 40 republicans can hold up healthcare for 300M americans

40 is not one. That was the assertion. I agree if 40 people oppose
something in the Senate it is probably not happening.

who's the GOP whip? he's a moron but he's 1 guy. and he stopped
heatlhcare just like gramm did

The health care bill they have is so flawed the majority of the people
oppose it too.

uh no. nate silver at 538.com did a survery. each individual point of
the healthcare package, except mandates, has majority support. a
majority opposed the package primarily because they don't know what's
in it.

in addition, the right is FAR better at marketing its lies. hell, the
minority whip in the senate the other day was defending WALL STREET
complaining of 'class warfare'. can you freakin' believe it? the GOP
is so out of control they're defending wall street

(which brings back on topic, remember Brown's platform)
Basically it gives people who have no insurance the right to buy it
for $1000 a month. Most of these people don't have an extra $1000 a
month. It would also raise the price for people with insurance.
The bill does nothing to cut prices for medical care or drugs.

the GOP already took are of that with one of the largest debt funded
packages in US history.
