As many of you have already heard, the Senate voted on Saturday night
to continue the debate on health care reform. Here's a clip of Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid discussing this historic vote:
While
the Senate was able to secure the 60 votes necessary to advance this
legislation, significant hurdles remain for passage. We believe that
allowing the Senate to debate this issue is a major
step forward, and we hope that the ongoing debate will provide
opportunities to improve the bill on behalf of children and families,
including efforts to strengthen the CHIP program. The Senate will
engage in full-scale health care debate when they return from
Thanksgiving, and we will keep you informed along the way as to how
health care reform could benefit children and families. Comments (0)
