Democrats Hit A “Snag”

From WashingtonPost.com: “Congressional Democrats rushing to push President Obama’s health-care initiative to final passage this week hit a new snag Tuesday, as the final piece of the package was held up by concerns that it would do too little to reduce the nation’s budget deficit.  While Senior Democrats downplayed the significance of the delay, saying they were still hoping to unveil the package Wednesday and clear the way for a vote as soon as Saturday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) alluded to the latest hurdle for the legislation in an afternoon news conference. She said Democrats were still waiting for congressional budget analysts to determine whether the package — which contains an array of amendments to the health-care bill aimed at winning over wavering House Democrats — would meet the party’s deficit-reduction goals.” By Code Red
