At the Reform Table

“There’s no signal. Republicans are at the table on health reform.”

鈥擜 spokeswoman for the top Finance Committee Republican, Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, disputed suggestions that Republicans would not support health care reform judging from the committee vote on President Obama’s choice for health secretary, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. The Senate Finance Committee voted 15 to 8 in favor of sending Sebelius’ nomination to the full Senate. Just two of 10 committee Republicans joined majority Democrats in voting “yes.”
