Congressional Quarterly Healthbeat has two articles of interest in yesterday's edition. Seems like it is very complicated to get the bills through the house and senate. Not clear whether or not obama needs to sign off on original senate bill before reconciliation is voted upon. Certainly may taken longer than anticipated. I hope not too long.
One article says hoyer and stupak may be able to work out language on abortion. That sounds encouraging.
