White House urges support for reform bill ahead of votes
December 21st, 2009
“While it is not perfect, the bill pending in the Senate today is not just good enough — it is very good,” Vice President Joe Biden wrote in a New York Times opinion piece.
Democratic holdout Ben Nelson announced his support for the legislation on Saturday after securing language ensuring that federal funds would not be used to pay for abortions and winning extra health care funds for his state of Nebraska.
Sen. Nelson’s support gives Sen. Reid the 60 votes he needs in the 100-seat Senate to pass Obama’s top domestic priority by Christmas.
