1.21.10 - Federal Healthcare Reform Update



Politics has always been a bit exhausting to watch, but the next few weeks are going to challenge even the most ardent political fans. With Scott Brown winning the Senate seat this week in Massachusetts, the future of federal healthcare reform is up in the air and the stories of what is to come change from minute to minute. The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, came out today and said the House would not pass the Senate's healthcare reform proposal as is, which would be the easiest and fastest way for Congress to get health reform passed. Since the Senate proposal has already passed the Senate, it would not need to be re-voted on in that chamber, but it would have to pass a vote in the House. With the Speaker of the House saying that is not an option, at least right now, stay tuned for more political madness in the upcoming weeks.
