ObamaCare faces an uncertain future in the Senate:

On Sunday, Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, who will now become the central figure in the drama of the weeks ahead, said “we stand closer than ever to reforming our broken healthcare system”.

The battle is by no means even close to its finale. Mr Reid’s first task will be to persuade sceptical colleagues that the bill should retain the controversial “public option” – a government insurance plan intended to keep the “insurers honest”. Even though Mr Reid has watered down that element by allowing states to opt out of it, many Democrats remain opposed. Olympia Snowe, the only Republican in the Senate who has so far supported the Democratic-led reforms, has also criticised the measure.

If and when Mr Reid cobbles together a majority in the Senate, Democrats then face the thorny task of stitching the very different House and Senate versions into one bill and then voting on that final product all over again.

The differences are large. For example, the House version pays for reform by imposing a 5.4 per cent tax surcharge on the wealthy – those earning over $500,000 a year. In contrast, the most recent Senate bill raises money by imposing a tax on the more expensive “Cadillac” insurance plans.
