222-60

Well, at least the majority of people bringing laws to this country are sane.

It would be interesting to see how it plays out in USA were bribing (lobby money) is legal. Insurance groups have the money to throw at this. It seems they want it really bad lately.

As I understand, the 60 weren't against the spirit of the bill, but voted against for potential constitutional challenges.

The concept is more or less universally supported. Those who voted against it did so on the basis that it was not federal jurisdiction, and it was likely/probably to be challenged in the court system.
