Excerpts from Nov 5,2009 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF HEALTH UNDERWRITERS newsletter(subscription)
House Democratic leaders have set the vote for their healthcare bill for Saturday evening. Media reports note a key stumbling block is the issue of whether the plan would permit the use of federal funds for abortion.
Bloomberg News (11/4, Rowley) reports, House Democratic leaders set a "vote as early as Saturday on the most sweeping overhaul of healthcare policy in four decades." Democratic leaders "were still locking down support Wednesday among a handful of holdouts, Many Democrats "said passing the measure has become even more crucial politically after Republicans won governor's races in Virginia and New Jersey this week."
Comment: The above is the short version of a longer and more detailed article in the NAHU subscription newsletter. I thought it would be informative to hear the Insurance industry take on the politics of Health Care reform.
