Howard Dean has emerged as a leading spokesperson in encouraging Congress to pass a comprehensive health care reform bill. He discusses the latest Democratic plan in Washington and the fight that the legislation faces in the coming weeks.
Congressman
Peter Welch says he supports a new health care reform bill that was unveiled by
House Democratic leaders this week. But he
isn’t sure the bill will garner enough Democratic support to win approval.
They
say that Vermont could become a laboratory for the federal government
as it tries to expand insurance coverage. But
others question if Vermont’s experience provides a relevant model for the rest
of the country.
