It passed on Friday. not that any republican wanted that little bit of info out on the boards. Now, you really dont understand how it works if you think this can be voted on within a week. It just left committees. The bill now goes to the full House and Senate. Both are now working on their own version of the bill. quote:
The timeline the president had hoped for was deemed unrealistic today, as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said a Senate version of health care reform won't be finished before the break. Reid instead laid out new plans, saying the Senate Finance Committee would vote on its pieces of the measure before the Aug. 7 break, and he would then work on marrying that bill with the proposal to come out of a separate Senate health panel. Reid said the Senate would consider the soon-to-be-merged bill shortly after the Senate returns Sept. 7. Today Reid said he's honoring the requests of Republicans asking for more time. "The decision was made to give them more time for the Finance Committee part of what we're trying to do, and I don't think it's unreasonable," he said. "It's better to have a product based on quality and thoughtfulness than trying to jam something through," Reid added. Today Obama said he's willing to wait until fall, or even the end of the year to get a comprehensive health care bill passed. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=8154188&page=1 Even the Republicans dont want to vote on this before break.
