Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) believes health care reform is now doomed because the Democrats failed to keep its 60-seat majority in the Senate.
“If she loses, it’s over,” Maloney said, according to the New York Daily News. Maloney was referring to Martha Coakley, the democratic nominee to replace the late Sen. Ted Kennedy. Coakley lost to Republican Scott Brown 52% to 47%.
During the campaign, Brown told voters he would proudly opposed health care reform if elected. He is now the 41st Republican senator and can help support a filibuster of the legislation that Democrats have been working for months to pass.
