Clinton health bill advances in Senate panel vote
Democrats returned from Memorial Day recess aiming to push health care reform before July Fourth. Labor and Human Resources passed a version 11 to 6, while Finance lagged with conservative Democrats seeking to delay a universal coverage provision. Moynihan proposed another version funding via cigarette tax hikes and a 50 percent excise levy, and Gibbons in the House opened with a new bill raising per pack taxes and broadening Medicare for low income and uninsured. White House bids to win undecided Democrats intensify ahead of crucial votes.
