Last evening, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D Nev) introduced his leadership's health care reform bill which is 2074 pages long. The AP compares the House approved bill with Senator Reid's bill here. Debate is expected to begin after Thanksgiving.
Today the House passed the Medicare doctor payment fix (HR 3961) demanded by the American Medical Association as Modern Healthcare reports. While Senator Reid's bill would pile new fees on top of health insurance provider (see AHIP press release), including FEHB plans, doctors skate. The Senate previously rejected this bill, but the doctors typically get their way.
