WASHINGTON -- A key House panel approved its version of major health care reform package Friday night, setting the full
House up for a debate on the legislation after its August recess.
The
House Energy and Commerce Committee, which voted Friday, was the last
of three panels to approve a health bill. The vote was made possible by
a deal brokered earlier this week between Democratic leaders and
conservative "Blue Dog" Democrats, though health reform legislation
still is being held up in one Senate committee.
