Mary Landrieu (D-La.) announced that she'll vote to begin debate on Senate health reform, leaving Democrats one vote shy of moving ahead with the bill, but she would not say how she'll vote on final passage. Her vote today "is a vote to move forward. … But much more work needs to be done," she said.
