Health reform debate stretches into extended session
Senator Grassley warned Congress will stay in session until a health reform bill passes or blame is placed on Republicans. He supports parts of the Dole plan, while seeking malpractice reform and protections for the insured with pre existing conditions, and tax deductibility for self employed insurers. Grassley and Harkin differ on timing and scope amid a 54 46 vote to table a Helms delay amendment.
