“A key Senate panel approved an $829 billion health care bill Tuesday, advancing President Obama’s broad vision to reshape the insurance system further than any other such bill has in more than a generation,” according to the USA Today.
The Senate Finance Committee, led by Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., voted 14-9 to approve the proposal, which would expand insurance coverage to 29 million uninsured Americans while reducing budget deficits by $81 billion over 10 years.
Only one Republican Senator voted for the bill – Olympia Snowe, of Maine. All the Democrats voted yes.
“Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, chairman of the Senate health committee, predicted that Obama will have a health bill to sign by Christmas.”
Like it or not, Obama Care is on the way…
