House Democrats are in a caucus meeting on the Hill right now but, according to lawmakers, leadership has not yet discussed how they plan to move forward on health care reform.
Some — including Reps. John Tanner (D-TN) and Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) — have told our reporters that they’d like to see health care broken into smaller chunks and passed in separate votes.
“A 2,000 page bill is not something I’m particularly interested in,” Tanner said. He suggested breaking the bill into pieces that “Republicans can agree with us on.”
Separately, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid met this morning in Reid’s ofice.
