Obama, Dems to Meet on Healthcare Bill

HeadlineJan 13, 2010

President Obama is expected to meet with congressional leaders today for ongoing talks on reconciling the differing House and Senate healthcare bills. House Democrats have already agreed to drop a public insurance option and are now facing increasing pressure to accept a tax on high-cost healthcare plans. Labor unions have opposed taxing the plans, which workers have often won in exchange for accepting lower wages and other benefits.
