WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats made a forceful case on Saturday for legislation to revamp the nation’s health care system, condemning the practices of insurers and decrying the plight of the uninsured in a parade of floor speeches aimed at cementing party unity ahead of a first crucial vote. Senate Republicans, powerless to stop the bill from even coming to the floor for weeks of debate unless they could break the ranks of the robust Democrat majority, countered with an equally impassioned denunciation of the measure. They derided it as an ill-conceived, budget-busting expansion of government and a threat to the health and economic security of all Americans, especially the elderly.
