Congress Puts Brakes On Health Care Reform

Kelly Phillips ErbJuly 23, 2009May 17, 2020

Despite President Obama’s plan to push through a massive health care reform bill before the August break, it will not happen.

Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) said about the bill, “I think that it’s better to have a product that is one that’s based on quality and thoughtfulness rather than trying to jam something through.” Sen. Reid promised to take the bill up again in the fall.

His remarks were echoed by many in Congress, especially among Republican Senators.

What seems to be the major sticking point? How to pay for the $1 trillion plan, of course!
