The last time they had 60 votes they passed medicaid expansion and protections for preexisting conditions, if they had one more then they could have passed singlepayer but the then Independent 68 year old Lieberman voted against it alongside every single Republican.

Give Dems power and good things come. Give GOP power and the government serves only the rich.
