Health Insurance Reform: Freshmen Senators Speak Out
September 24, 2009 —Democratic freshmen Senators took to the Senate Floor on Wednesday to urge Congress to pass health insurance reform legislation. The new senators agreed that maintaining the status quo is not an option; the time for action is now. "We, as recent additions to this body are united by a simple, but important truth," said Sen. Mark Warner, "That the rising cost of health care is hobbling American business, stressing family budgets and if we do nothing nothing, and it is left unchecked, it will explode our national debt."
Macromedia Flash Player required.
The Senate will convene at 2:00 p.m. and proceed to a period of morning business until 3:00 p.m. with Senators permitted to speak for up to ten minutes each. Following morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of H.R.3590, with Senator Reid, or designee, permitted to offer the first amendment to the Reid substitute; further, that Senator McConnell, or designee, be permitted to offer the next amendment to the substitute with no other amendments in order during Monday's session. There will be no roll call votes during Monday's session.
