us another step closer to the finish line as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
(D-NV) unveiled the Senate's health reform legislation, the Patient

The CBO score of the Senate Finance Committee's proposal augurs well
for the passage of health care reform in the Senate -- even securing
the 60 votes needed to stop a filibuster. The fact that the Senate
Finance Committee's proposal reduces the deficit in the first ten years
by $81 billion; that its cost is estimated to be $829 billion; and that
it increases health coverage from 83 percent to 94 percent of legal
residents will make the proposal very appealing to Senators as it is
merged with the Senate HELP Committee's bill.

the deficit.

Writing in the latest issue of Newsweek,
Senator Edward Kennedy has called on the nation to reform our health care
system: ". . . quality care shouldn't depend
on your financial resources, or the type of job you have, or the medical
condition you face. Every American should be able to get the same treatment
that U.S. senators are entitled to."
