Senate Finance Committee chairman Max Baucus says that if the three Republicans and two Democrats he’s been working with to negotiate a health care reform want to see changes in his proposal, they better speak up by 10 a.m. tomorrow.
“The rubber is starting to meet the road here. We’re gonna have to start fishing or cut the bait pretty soon and I made that very, very clear to the group.”
Lot of metaphors in there. But also a hard deadline. We’ll see if, after weeks of trashing health care reform to constituents, Republicans Mike Enzi and Chuck Grassley are ready to start playing nice.
