G.O.P. Forces Another House Vote on Package of Changes to Health Bill

With the Senate working through an all-night session on a
package of changes to the Democrats' sweeping health care
legislation, Republicans identified parliamentary problems
with at least two provisions that apparently will require the
measure to be sent back to the House for yet another vote,

A Senate Democratic aide said one of the provisions in

part of an education section in the reconciliation measure.

Shortly after the discovery of the parliamentary issues, at

Nevada, indicated that he would bring the late-night session
to a close, and that the Senate would resume work on the bill
at 9:45 a.m. on Thursday.
