Next Step on Health Care Reform: "The House managed on Saturday to find enough votes to pass their health care reform bill but the legislation faces a more uncertain future in the Senate.
From CBSNews.com
The House passed its version of health care reform late Saturday night and by early Sunday morning, there were major warning signs about the upcoming Senate battle, even after President Obama went to the Rose Garden to prod senators into moving forward.
'Senator Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said [on CBS' 'Face the Nation'] the health care bill ... is 'dead on arrival to the Senate,'' writes CBS News' Michelle Levi. 'Graham argued that the House bill was 'written for liberals, by liberals.''
USA Today's John Fritze,''If the public option plan is in there ... I will not allow this bill to come to a final vote,' Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman— one of two independents Democrats are counting on — warned on Fox News Sunday. 'I believe the debt can break America.''
Boston Globe's Sasha Issenberg details Lieberman's filibuster threat.
It's not just Lieberman and Senate Republicans that threaten to slow things down. As in the House, moderate Democrats have their own set of concerns as well."
