Health care reform moves toward Christmas rewrite in Senate Finance
The health care bill emerging from the Senate Finance Committee aims to expand insurance coverage without widening deficits and to slow cost growth. Democrats push to finish by Christmas amid strong opposition and internal debate over allowing government insurance competition with private industry. The CBO projects a net deficit reduction of 81 billion dollars from 2010 to 2019, with longer term savings possible but uncertain. President Obama insists the plan must not add to deficits and should include spending restraints if promised savings fail to materialize.
