============
Thank you for clearing that up, Secretary Sebelius! Here is video of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius explaining that the Senate Health Care Bill really does contain an "accounting measure" that takes funds from everyone to provide abortion coverage. Sebelius did everything she could not to use the word "abortion," but the interviewer was lost with Sebelius' convoluted explanation, so she finally used it at the end. Essentially, Sebelius was trying to assure pro-abortion activists that the bill actually covers abortions even though they tried to make it look like it does not.

Nothing like transparency, EH?

2 KEY SENATORS - HEALTHCARE VOTE SATURDAY

2009-11-21T06:10:20.847Z

It appears the fate of the Senate Health Care Bill is now in the hands of two Democrat senators - Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana.

Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska has announced he will vote for cloture tomorrow, which would open the way for the bill to be taken up on the Senate Floor and receive an up or down vote. If Democrats can cobble together the 60 votes needed to invoke Cloture tomorrow, they will then only need 50 votes (plus VP Joe Biden) to gain final passage of the bill. Fifty votes would appear to be a sure thing with the huge majority the Democrats have.

That means the Cloture vote tomorrow is the key vote. Some Democrats - like Ben Nelson - will likely vote for Cloture tomorrow under the guise of wanting to have a "free and open debate / vote" on the bill, and then vote against final passage to cover themselves, knowing there will be at least 50 votes to pass it.

Above is a Radio Ad from the Eagle Forum that are seeking to get citizens to put pressure on Lincoln to vote against Cloture tomorrow.

NOTE: Independent Joe Lieberman has said he WILL vote for Cloture tomorrow to begin debate on final passage of the bill. He has said he will consider filibustering the final bill to prevent a vote on final passage if it has a Public Option. But the reality is, if the Democrats get 60 votes tomorrow for Cloture, it is over. They will have 50 votes to pass the bill later.

UPDATE 9:33 PM CT: Politico reports tonight that Landrieu says she is "leaning towards" voting for Cloture tomorrow. Reid put $100 million in this bill for Louisiana, and it appears it has done what it was intended to do. That leaves Lincoln of Arkansas, and she has said she will consider carefully what Bill Clinton thinks. He urged passage of the bill. It looks like it is going to happen.
