senate finance committee chairman

Slowly, but surely, we’ll be getting health care reform in a matter of months.

That is, if Democrats don’t overplay their hand.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus's newly unveiled centrist health plan still faces a bipartisan gauntlet.

Republicans say it gives the government too much control over health care, and still costs too much. Some Democrats say too many concessions were made to Republicans, who won't vote for it anyway.

It's a long way from soup.

Senate Finance Committee chairman Max Baucus plans to unveil a health care bill today that he hopes can win the backing of a majority on his committee — and the full Senate.

But it's getting some negative reviews from those he is counting on to support it.
