The Senate voted 67 to 15 to override Ford’s veto of a $2 billion health care bill, the first override this year. Ford argued the cost could not be tolerated given the federal budget strain. The measure backed funds for mental health centers, nurse training, and health programs, with strong opposition from the Nurses Association. The House debate was not yet set as Ford was in Europe.
