In Senate, No Progress on Healthcare

In the Senate this week, the main debate was over healthcare reform. But it looks like the four day long debate was much ado about nothing. As Reuters reports, the bill has escaped any change whatsoever. The bill was authored by Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT).

The "Baucus bill," yet to receive any official number, has been made famous for being another ambiguous mark of the Senate Democrats' big idea. After a brief look over the bill, it does prove to be ambiguous: food labeling guidelines (p. 407) are a little outside healthcare reform, don't you think?

In other news from the Senate, S. 1699, a bill to extend emergency unemployment compensation is quickly gathering attention. It was authored by Sen. John Reed (D-RI). Ironically, it has been moving faster than the "Baucus bill" through the Senate!
