Senate Finance Committee Moves Forward
September 01, 2009
Senate Finance Chairman, Max Baucus (D-Mont.), plans to introduce a health care reform bill the week of September 14, and mark-up the legislation the week of September 21 with or without bi-partisan support. The Baucus plan proposes using co-ops as a way to offer affordable health insurance which differs from the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee’s plan which offers a government-run public insurance option.
The Senate plans to merge the two plans before sending a bill to the floor for a vote.
