Health Care Reform Legislation Passed in the Congress and Debate over Senate Legislation Starts
 On Saturday, November 21, sixty Senators voted to move forward with the debate on health reform. Health reform is expected to be on the Senate's agenda for several weeks. To date, over ninety amendments to the Senate bill have been proposed as floor debate continues. Supporters of the bill are working to ensure that at least sixty Senators will support the bill as amended on the Senate floor. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid recently stated that they are still working to ensure there are enough votes to pass the health reform bill after the amendments are considered. President Obama visited Capitol Hill on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 6, to discuss the need for health reform with key democratic Senators.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE 

On Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives approved sweeping health care reform legislation that was historic, with a vote of 220 - 215. 

Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and Representative Henry Waxman, Representative Rangel, and Representative Miller came together to introduce their bill, "Affordable Health Care for America Act" (H.R. 3962) that is a great start to making health care more affordable and accessible to all Americans.

Effort centers on ensuring reform doesn't shortchange immigrants
After trying to carefully balance their interests in health-care reform and immigration, the nation's Hispanic lawmakers and largest advocacy groups are scrambling to develop a strategy to counter what they see as efforts to shortchange immigrants in health bills on Capitol Hill. They had tried to keep the two issues apart, concerned, they said, that immigration would distract from health care. But other lawmakers and activists have inserted the immigration issue into the middle of the health-care debate, causing a collision between what Hispanic leaders call their two top policy priorities.
