HCR now faces Senate Challenge


Posted: Mar 22, 2010

So it's not over yet.

Washington (CNN) -- Now that the House has passed the Senate's health care reform bill and a package meant to reconcile differences between the House and Senate bills, the next step is for members of the Senate to sign off on those changes.

That won't be as easy as it sounds.

Senate Republicans have indicated they will use any and all legislative tactics in order to slow -- even stop -- the reconciliation bill from passing.

President Obama is expected to sign the health care bill Tuesday at the earliest. Only then can the Senate begin dealing with the reconciliation package.

If you believe that, there's a bridge in the middle of nowhere to buy. The fact is, neither is Clinton going to "reign in" drug companies, nor is there a widespread problem with "price-gouging," as she claims. The truth lies somewhere in-between, but make no mistake ab ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is facing potential rifts with members of his own party in tough re-election contests as he barrels toward a fall fight with Republicans over his ability to change immigration policies.
