Can anyone find which Senators voted yay or nay on the bill? I found the House bill vote here

To the extent a husband automatically assumes the role of Guardian in deciding what the wife "would" have wanted, with no rebuttable presumption for cases where the husband has moved on and is with a new woman and has kids with her, stands to benefit from a life insurance policy, he is the sole person who wants her dead, the "machinery" here is just a feeding tube and he is the only one who heard the wife's offhand remark about "not wanting to be kept alive by machines".....well, that seems enough to rebut any presumption.

The Senate was a voice vote. Expect the number voting against to vary depending on expediency.
