Excerpted from “Reid’s goal: Wrap up final touches on healthcare package by Saturday” By Alexander Bolton, The Hill, 03/22/10 08:12 PM ET
[SIZE="+2"]S[/SIZE]enate Democrats are planning to pass the final changes to landmark healthcare legislation by the end of the week but must first get past a final Republican stand.
Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) wants to bring the reconciliation package to the Senate floor by Tuesday afternoon. A senior Democratic aide said the goal is to pass the bill by Friday or Saturday. …
News regarding the final step to health care reform is coming fast and furious now. First the Senate Parliamentarian Alan Frumin rules that the reconciliation bill does not violate Section 310g, now Majority Leader Reid is preparing the Senate for a short week long push to complete the process and deliver the bill to the president's desk.
After 17 months of delay and divisiveness, our government is delivering on the promises to change things on behalf of the American people.
