After suggesting very strongly that Democrats will not allow frustratingly slow health care negotiations on the Senate Finance Committee to drag long into September, President Obama will meet tomorrow with the six senators on that committee who are drafting a compromise reform bill.
According to Roll Call, the meeting–which will include chairman Max Baucus (D-MT), ranking member Chuck Grassley (R-IA), as well as Sens. Olympia Snowe (R-ME), Mike Enzi (R-WY), Jeff Bingaman (D-NM), and Kent Conrad (D-ND)–is set for 11:15 a.m. It comes at the end of a week-long health care huddle, and a day before the Senate is scheduled to adjourn for August recess.
