The Wyden Factor

Interesting inside baseball about the Senate Finance Committee vote on healthcare that may have real consequences. My favorite line: "it's always easier to bargain with a dealmaker than a policy wonk." Go policy wonks. But the real bottom line: there was a "colloquy" -- scripted dialogue for the record -- between Baucus and Wyden which might mean more choices in the final bill in the form of a modified expansion of the exchange beyond the uninsured -- Wyden's pet issue.
