Reid Plans Senate Health Care Debate Next Week
The Congressional Budget Office continues crunching numbers on the Senate bill, but Reid says he wouldn't rule out trying to begin the debate on the bill before the CBO analysis is complete. Reid also faces an uphill battle in bringing his party together behind the ban on funding for abortions and the public option. And in response to Sen. Joe Lieberman's warning that he would join the GOP in opposing the measure, Reid said he spoke to Lieberman and is "confident we'll work something out."
