As you may or not be aware of the Senate passed its first vote on the health care bill while you slept.
Yup another Sundaty in the middle of the night vote while most media outlets are on autopilot and certain commentators are on vacation the vote is passed.
But how did they get the votes? There was a lot of contention and outright doubt that they could get enough votes... So how did they do it?
Well they did it the good old American Way... they bought it.

WASHINGTON -- A $100 million item for construction of a university hospital was inserted in the Senate health care bill at the request of Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., who faces a difficult re-election campaign, his office said Sunday night.
