Republicans Criticizing Senate Health Bill

Republicans in the US Senate are decrying the health care bill passed by the Finance Committee on Tuesday.   Only one Republican, Maine’s Olympia Snowe, crossed party lines to vote for it.  Now leading Democrats in the Senate will meld the Finance Committee version with one passed over the summer by the Health Committee. Alaska’s Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski sits on the Health panel and voted against that bill.  She not much happier with the latest Finance version.Libby Casey, APRN – Washington DCDownload Audio (MP3)
