Challenges continue to grow for some form of bipartisan health reform but the debate over health care appears far from over and may last until December.
Today, reports from Capitol Hill indicate virtually no Republican support for Senate Finance Chair Baucus (D-MT) and the health reform mark he released yesterday. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) is the only potential Republican name that may consider supporting the proposed Finance bill. Republicans may not even offer any of the other amendments to the proposed Senate Finance mark based on reports today. What does that mean? Basically, the best chance for bipartisan health reform legislation might start with a fresh, blank piece of paper.
The key areas of consensus remain focused on insurance reforms but virtually all other issues are being debated due to the cost issues with such reforms.
