The core of health insurance reform is mandatory coverage. The President and Congress already meet this requirement.
Canadian senators are appointed by the Prime Minister, they are not elected (although there are plans to reform the Senate).
Nope, not one republican vote.
Takes away the monopoly the insurance and Pharmacorps have on the Health care industry. But I guess that is only a disadvantage if you are a CEO or a Republican...

Individuals cannot vote directly on US health care reform (actually health insurance reform). This is something Congress works on and only your Representatives and Senators have a direct vote. If you like or don't like what was done, you can let them know what you think. If you don't like what comes out of the process, you will have to opportunity to vote for someone else to represent you in the Congress.
Senate Republicans want step-by-step solutions that reduce health care costs but don't require large bills and a Washington take over of the health care system.
The senate was composed of patricians, the aristocrats. However, some historians think that some non-patricans also sat in the senate. The senate was the king's advisory body. There is no record of conflict between the senate and the king for the first four kings. The fifth king doubled the size of the senate and there may have been concerns among the senators as a distinction of rank was created between the old and new senators. However, the reform went ahead. The senate was said to have opposed the succession of the sixth king. This king drummed up popular support counter the senate and had himself elected as king by the popular assembly despite the opposition of the senate. He also made reforms which may have weakened the position of the senators. The seventh king seized power with a coup d' etat and was a tyrant. He turned against the senate because it could be a source of opposition and decimated the senators. His tyranny led to a rebellion which overthrew the monarchy and established the republic.
