Reid: Democratic senators united on health care
WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says his party’s caucus has “absolute unity” on the need to pass health care reform this year.
The Nevadan, joined by other lawmakers, spoke to reporters Tuesday afternoon on a White House driveway after Senate Democrats met over lunch with President Barack Obama. Reid said Democrats wants to produce a bipartisan bill “if there’s any way humanly possible.”
Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus said, “The American people want us to work together.”
Reid and Baucus, a Montana Democrat, expressed confidence that health care legislation would get done by year’s end. Extending health insurance to the uncovered and reining in costs are key Obama priorities.

The last 30 years I have seen too much government rhetoric, which now I can say, I do not trust anyone running for a vote or voted-in government. The ones talking the most to pass Healthcare(Universal)Reform are just plain idiots~~I want to see a law passed regarding how long you can seat in the Senate and Congress. Many have been seated tooo long, they think its their government, and don’t have to speak on behalf of the U.S. citizens. |
