Senate approves patient rights bill amid clashes over lawsuits
The Senate passage of a consumer protections measure drew 50 Democrats and nine Republicans in support, while 35 Republicans and one independent opposed. The bill would expand emergency care access, specialist visits, mastectomy stay standards, and allow independent review of denied care, with avenues to sue HMOs. Bush warned veto risks. Daschle celebrated a political milestone and a long struggle ending after five years.
