Will Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, vote YES on the Senate version of the Health Care Bill?

Settled as No

Background: Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, said today she believes behind-the-scenes negotiations over a proposed health care bill ended prematurely and encouraged Democrats to ensure that members of the Senate Finance Committee have time to review legislation before voting.

"We are far from the finish line," Snowe said. "There are many miles in this journey."

The 60-to-39 Senate health care vote along party lines may make it far more difficult for the Senate to work on issues that lie ahead.

Fifty-eight Democrats and two independents — and no Republicans — voted to approve an $871 billion bill would require most Americans to obtain health care coverage, and would provide federal aid for those having difficulty affording it.
