Key House Panel Cancels Health Care Session, as Moderate Democrats Voice Concerns
The House Energy and Commerce Committee is stacked with fiscally conservative Blue Dog Democrats, who have voiced serious
concerns about the details of the House package.
A key House committee on Tuesday indefinitely postponed voting on health care reform legislation, after Democratic leaders
were unable to line up enough votes from moderate members of their own party.
The
House Energy and Commerce Committee canceled the session as it faced
serious concerns about the legislation from fiscally conservative Blue
Dog Democrats, who hold a large number of seats on the panel. The
Energy and Commerce Committee is the only House panel with jurisdiction
over health care that has not completed writing its version of the
reform bill.
