Finance Committee Completes Mark-up
September 28, 2009
The Senate Finance Committee completed its mark-up session early Friday morning. The amended legislation has been sent to the Congressional Budget Office and awaits a revised cost estimate.
The Finance Committee is expected to review the preliminary estimate from the Congressional Budget Office next week. The Committee could vote as early as Tuesday, October 6 on the final product.
The next phase of moving toward a floor vote on health care reform in the Senate involves merging the Finance bill with a bill passed by the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee in July.
