The Obama administrations' attempt to overhaul healthcare has been moving slowly, progressing further than any other comprehensive healthcare bill in recent history.  It had been doing so along party lines.  With the loss of a Senate seat on Tuesday to Republican Scott Brown, the Democrats no longer have a filibuster proof 60 seat majority.  President Obama signaled that he might be willing to scale back his proposed healthcare overhaul to a version that could attract bipartisan support.  A compromise bill might take steps to restrict malpractice lawsuits or provide aid for small businesses for healthcare costs.  Little assurance exists that a stripped down version would be able to get through Congress at this point.  Stay tuned to www.medbizonics.com for more information or register to participate with the Medbizonics professionals and fellow colleagues in our "Forums" discursion on healthcare reform.
