Yesterday, the fifth Congressional Committee approved its version of health reform legislation. By a vote of 14 - 9 (which included only one Republican Senator voting in favor of the bill), the Senate Finance Committee passed the America's Healthy Future Act. Today, Senators began meeting to discuss how to merge this bill with the HELP health reform proposal in order to present a single bill for consideration by the full Senate.
