Senate Poised to Take Up Health Care Bill Next Week

The Senate's Thanksgiving break will end with a bang Monday when debate is scheduled to begin on sweeping legislation to remake the U.S. health care system, a showdown likely to last for weeks.

The debate on the Senate's version of the legislation will test the strength of a re-energized Republican insurgency and the loyalty of a fractured Democratic majority.

Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, said Sunday that he doesn't think any members of the Democratic caucus, including the two independents, will vote against final legislation.
