GOP succeeds in forcing another House vote on health care

After a session that lasted into the early part of Thursday morning, Senate Republicans found two violations in the proposed package of changes in the new health care law. It now has to be sent back to the House of Representatives to have a another vote. Among the amendments to the bill is provision to prevent the bill's planned Medicare cuts from being used to finance other programs. Another amendment that they are working on is to eliminate new penalties being imposed on businesses whose workers use federally subsidized insurance.

This shows everyone that not everything in the Healthcare bill was good. There were violations in the Healthcare bill that people voted on and wanted it to become a law. Somebody found these violations and now it has to go back to House of Representatives to vote on it again. This is going to prolong the process of getting this Healthcare bill signed and it will take longer to make it into a law.
