Baucus HCR proposal: Worth the Wait?

Posted on September 16, 2009 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Senator Max Baucus of the Senate Finance Committee released his committee's health care reform proposal .Though it would meet most of President Obama's goals, it does not supply a government insurance option (as other Senate packages do) or an alternative to one. Originally, the proposal was supposed to be bi-partisan, however it seems only Olympia Snowe of Maine will support it. The proposal is under fire from Democrats, such as Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va), who believe the package is not strong enough.
