4. Maybe I'm mistaken but this isn't closure...
This only allows the debate to move forward. It doesn't mean the debate can "end" which is what a filibuster actually is. As I understand it we have yet another 60 vote hurdle to go.

I'll admit to not being interested enough to actually read the news articles... I know where I stand on health care and it is far to left of what is being debated so I'm just hoping we can get something we can work with rather than something that will make the inequities worse.
