Senator McConnell Vows To Continue Opposition To Health Care Bill
KENTUCKY...
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell pledged to keep fighting efforts to pass a massive health care bill even as Democratic leaders declared victory Thursday after an early morning vote on the Senate version of the legislation.
McConnell suggested that public sentiment might yet help turn the tide on health care reform. "This debate was supposed to produce a bill that reformed health care in America," he said. "Instead, we're left with party-line votes in the middle of the night, a couple of sweetheart deals to get over the finish line, and a public outraged."
