Senate panel OKs health reform bill; Obama: 'We're not there yet'

This article is about the health care reform debate reached a new milestone Tuesday as a key congressional committee passed an $829 billion plan projected to extend coverage to an additional 29 million Americans. The Senate Finance Committee's bill would subsidize insurance for poorer Americans and create health insurance exchanges to make it easier for small groups and individuals to purchase coverage. While the health care was being descussed the Finance Committee was the last of five congressional panels to consider health care legislation before formal debate begins in the full House and Senate. Democratic leaders in each chamber have now started the politically delicate task of melding together five pieces of legislation -- two in the Senate and three in the House.

All i can say about this article is what ever happens. Happens. I hope they did the right thing. Spending weeks in voting boosting the bill's overall price by more than $50 billion in part by expanding insurance subsidies for individuals and families with lower incomes.
