What’s next?Attention turns to Senate

• "the glow from a healthcare triumph faded quickly for President Barack Obama on Sunday as Democrats realized the bill they fought so hard to pass in the House has nowhere to go in the Senate." AP 11/9

![Page 12: 10th Annual Fall Meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813acc550346895da2eada/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What’s next?

Reid’s Public Plan Option
• Require the government plan to negotiate payments to providers, rather than base payments on Medicare rates.
• States would have to choose to opt out of the public plan by 2014, a year after the plan would come into being. (No detail about how a state would do that.)
• No trigger
![Page 14: 10th Annual Fall Meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813acc550346895da2eada/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Unclear in the Senate if Democratic votes are there.
• President’s Desk by Christmas?
• Now indicating possibly not ready for vote this year.

![Page 16: 10th Annual Fall Meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813acc550346895da2eada/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
It’s still a heavy lift…• Several Senate moderate Democrats non-
committal.• Two liberal Senators non-committal.• Lieberman (I-CT) – indicates he may support
a filibuster.• Snowe (R-ME) now non-supportive.
• Likely posturing. Expect the arm twisting to begin.
![Page 17: 10th Annual Fall Meeting](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56813acc550346895da2eada/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Sure enough….
• Tuesday-former President Bill Clinton became the arm-twister-in-chief.
• Warned Democratic Senators that economy cannot withstand out-of-control health care spending.
• Reminded Ds of 1994 midterm election cycle; Democrats lost both the House and the Senate.
