resident Obama plans to go to Capitol Hill on Sunday to bolster Democratic support for health care reform legislation as the debate on the bill reaches a critical point.
In a rare weekend session, senators debated the president's health care overhaul bill Saturday as the Democrats' self-imposed deadline to pass health care legislation by the end of this year approaches.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid opened the Saturday session arguing Americans don't get weekends off from losing their health insurance.
"The American people don't get weekends off from this injustice," Reid, D-Nev., said on the Senate floor. "Bankruptcy doesn't keep bankers' hours. They don't go away just because it's Sunday or Saturday. The pain is still there and so our work continues this weekend. It will continue until we give this nation's citizens a health insurance system that works for them."
The sparring and finger-pointing between Republicans and Democrats continued to dominate the Senate debate.
