I do hope healthcare reform still passes. It would be appalling if Paul Kirk continues to vote, but Democrats have other options. The best thing to do is for the House to pass the bill the Senate passed without any changes, which wouldn't require another Senate vote. Then they could make changes to it using reconciliation.
