Obama urges swift approval of health care bill in Senate
About 14 hours after the House narrowly approved its health care bill, President Barack Obama called on the Senate to act quickly and enact its version. He called the House's action a "courageous vote." Obama's health care plan could face an even tougher fight in the Senate, where Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., wants a vote before Thanksgiving. Senate Democrats are struggling to hang onto votes from 58 Democrats and two independents; 60 votes are needed to avert a threatened Republican filibuster. One independent, Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, said he will oppose any plan that would provide government-run insurance.
