http://www.stetson.edu/org/modelsenate/handbook.html

Motion to Proceed to Consider: A motion, usually offered by the Majority Leader to bring a bill or other measure up for consideration. The usual way of bringing a measure to the floor when unanimous consent to do so cannot be obtained. For legislative business, the motion is debatable under most circumstances, and therefore may be subject to filibuster.

Senate to Take Up Health Coverage Bill

By KEVIN FREKING, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 49 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Health insurance coverage for mammograms, annual children's physicals and drug abuse counseling could disappear for some workers under legislation moving through Congress.

The measure, which the Senate takes up Tuesday, would let insurers bypass coverage requirements mandated by states.

Supporters say that pre-empting the state requirements creates a trade-off that will help more businesses and their employers afford health insurance. Opponents say the bill would result in health insurance policies that don't protect workers when they get ill.

Under legislation sponsored by Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., businesses could band together based on their membership in a professional trade association to offer their workers scaled-back health insurance. Enzi predicts that most businesses will stick with the policies they currently offer rather than switch to a less comprehensive benefit.

However, many of the businesses that don't offer health insurance will find they can now afford to do so through the small business health plans. As a result, about 1 million currently uninsured workers would get coverage, he said.
