The vote on the Doctor's Tax is 53-56, at this point. Which means that they do not have the votes to pass this tax increase the costs of your doctor visits. They will need to flip three votes. The Speaker of the house is working very hard to coax his members to switch their votes.
These are tough votes, and no one should diminish the significance of this moment. This is where the rubber meets the road. This is very historic. Michigan could see some true reform, if this tax is denied.
In either regard, I cannot see that the Senate would pass this extraordinary tax. With all that uncertainty at hand, it seems like a waste of political capital.
The GOP took some very tough votes last week to reform the government budget, and our friends on the other side are taking their tough votes now
