Senate Bill by Christmas but No Health Care Reform in 2009
Written by Ann Pietrangelo on December 22nd, 2009 in Health Care Policy, In The News.
We’re not going to have a revamped health care system for Christmas, but it looks like we’re going to have a Senate health care bill by Christmas eve.
The larger task of merging it with the House bill so that we end up with something that makes sense remains. 2010 promises to start with a bang. We have no choice but to forgive 2009 for its crushing disappointments and move on.
It’s obvious that whatever legislation is passed in the end, it won’t meet all of our expectations. Rather, it will be step one in a very long movement toward providing all citizens with access to health care. No matter how you feel about the final bill, the movement will not end with the passage of a single piece of legislation.
