Final procedural hurdles have been cleared, setting the stage for approval of a sweeping healthcare reform bill tomorrow morning.
The Senate legislation is estimated to cost more than 850-billion dollars over ten years.

Senate Republicans are unanimously opposed to the Democratic bill, calling it a budget-busting monstrosity that will raise taxes and grow the soaring federal deficit.
Democrats claim making the complex and costly U.S. healthcare system more efficient will actually reduce the deficit.
