And The Winner Of The CommonHealth Cost Bill Pool Is...

Brian Rosman, of Health Care For All, declared himself the winner of our pool — Will Mass. Reform Bill Go Down To The Wire? — in a comment this morning. (Rosman predicted the bill would be enacted at 9:30 last night, and he was indeed closest to the mark.) He writes:

Based on the State House News Service transcript of the Senate session last night, the cost bill was enacted sometime between 8:27 pm and 8:47 pm. It seems all of us were more pessimistic about how late it would go. The Senate adjourned last night at 12:12 am.

I look forward to proudly displaying the "nice piece of WBUR paraphernalia."

Brian, our people will contact your people, and get you that paraphernalia soon.

In the meantime, let's keep watch over whether the bill truly fulfills it's very big promises...
