After a month of boisterous and at times nearly-violent town hall meetings on health care reform, the second-ranking Democrat in the House said Tuesday that lawmakers are far from producing a final bill on health care reform.
"There is no 'the' bill at this time," said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland, signaling that changes were coming to the troika of legislation that needs to be blended together into one bill.
Skeptical Democrats took the monthlong summer break to "take a closer look" at the proposed legislation, Hoyer said.
Hoyer, who called the August recess "a learning experience" and "a very useful one," said that he didn't know when the House would potentially vote on a measure. House leaders previously set the first of August as a goal to approve a health care reform package.
