Sen. Reid Willing to Fast-Track Health Care Overhaul; Republicans Cry Foul

By Erica Werner, Associated Press

Washington (AP) – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid indicated Wednesday he is willing to move sweeping health care legislation through the Senate with a procedural maneuver that would block a GOP filibuster.

The prospect of the controversial tactic has already ignited Republicans' ire, and key Senate Democratic chairmen have said they don't want to do it.

Reid, D-Nev., took a different position on a conference call with reporters. "I think it's something we need to consider," Reid said.
