“The point is, though, if we vote for cloture tomorrow, maybe we can work this out. Maybe we can come up with something that could be addressed, or at least give suggestive language to the States to be able to work this out. It is so clear that if we can invoke cloture--for the general public, that means that we can proceed to the bill. The vote tomorrow is just whether we can proceed to the bill. All of this is just pre-debate on whether we are going to proceed to a bill that is so critical to the future health care in this country.”
