As activists make their way around Capitol Hill for today’s day of lobbying against the Stupak amendment, we ask: What will the Senate healthcare bill look like? Amidst the grandstanding, egos, and filibuster threats, is it possible to come out of the Senate with a more progressive bill than the House passed?
