DMR: Braley: Senate Bill Unlikely to Pass House

http://blogs.desmoinesregister.com/dmr/index.php/category/opinion/kathie-obradovich/#28528

"Congressman Bruce Braley expressed doubts today about the chances the Senate health care compromise bill, as it now stands, could pass the House.

I asked Braley in a phone interview about Sen. Tom Harkin’s comments today about the Senate bill, which has been stripped of any public-run insurance alternative. Harkin is calling it a “starter home” that lawmakers can add to in the future.

Braley said he respects what Harkin, a fellow Democrat, is trying to do to get the bill passed. But, he said, “I can tell you I think the bill the Senate is talking about passing is not very likely to pass in the House, at a conference committee, if that’s the final product.”

An interesting perspective ....

1. Yeah,

Gotta wonder what going to happen in conference. Assuming, of course, that the Senate can even pass something.
