AMNews: Oct. 13, 2008. Baucus previews uninsured debate for next Congress ... American Medical News:
"Washington -- Sen. Max Baucus (D, Mont.) will try to advance a major health system reform bill with bipartisan support next year. But the chair of the powerful Senate Finance Committee might consider using a budgetary tactic to force adoption of the measure with a simple majority vote if broad support does not materialize.
Baucus, speaking Sept. 23 at a U.S. News & World Report forum on the uninsured, said he plans to outline his measure later this year. The Senate Finance Committee -- a key stop for most health care legislation -- has held a series of hearings on health system reform in recent weeks to lay the groundwork for a major bill."
The article goes on to suggest caution will be in the air to avoid upsetting the status quo too much.
