SPOTLIGHT: REFORM IN THE SUMMERTIME
Senate Finance Committee Chair Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Senate Health,
Education, Labor and Pensions Committee Chair Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.)
confirm in a letter to President Obama that their respective panels plan
to mark up separate health care overhaul bills in June. The letter
states, "Our intention is for the legislation to be very similar, and to
reflect a shared approach to reform, so that the measures that our two
committees report can be quickly merged into a single bill for
consideration on the Senate floor." The senators write, "We have a moral
duty to ensure that every American can get quality health care." They
add, "We must act to contain the growth of health care costs to ensure
our economic stability; to help American businesses deal with the health
care challenge; and to make sure that we are getting our money's worth."
