Reid, Dodd, Baucus Discuss the Urgency for Health Insurance Reform
October 15, 2009 —Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus and Senator Chris Dodd of the Senate HELP Committee gave an update this afternoon on the discussions underway regarding a merged health insurance reform proposal. Senator Reid highlighted the challenges that remain and called on Republican Senators to join their Democratic colleagues in passing comprehensive health insurance legislation. "I'm confidant and optimistic it can be done but we need the kind of historical participation that has been the hallmark of the United States Senate," said Senator Dodd.
