Senate Cmte Defeats Pro-Life Amendment to Stop Health Care Rationing
Washington, DC -- The Senate HELP Committee on Monday defeated a pro-life amendment that would help stop the rationing of health care in the Kennedy restructuring bill. The amendment concerned the section on comparative effectiveness research, which pro-life advocates say prompt euthanasia concerns.
Sen. Mike Enzi sponsored a pair of amendments to curb the problem, but they were defeated during the HELP Committee markup of the Kennedy bill by a party-line vote.
ACTION: Go to http://help.senate.gov/About.html to see if either of your senators are on the committee and thank them or complain about their vote for or against the Enzi amendment.
