Health Care Will Not Meet the Obama Deadline

As rumored and speculated at first, the Senate will not be able to pass Health Care Reform before the proposed August deadline set by President Obama, according to Senator Dick Durbin (IL).

With the Democrats accepting the impracticality of expediting Health Care Reform, there will now be a new mission in place: to push forward a bi-partisan Health Care bill in the Finance Committee by the August Recess.

*Personally, I believe that this is not a loss for Health Care reform. Having more time to work out the kinks of Health Care Reform with those in opposition in the Finance Commitee will only improve/polish the bill for the Senate Floor once recess is over and hopefully expand its support base.
