[UPDATED] Health Care Bill Shifts to Senate
The U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed health care reform legislation over the weekend and the issue now moves to the Senate, where the bill faces an uncertain future. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has not officially scheduled floor debate and has indicated the chamber may not be able to pass any proposal before the end of the year. Clarian Health President and Chief Executive Officer Dan Evans says the House-approved bill and a Senate proposal both contain a multi-billion dollar annual income tax on medical device manufacturers, which could have serious impacts on Indiana companies such as Zimmer Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ZMH) and Cook Group Inc., as well as prices at health care providers.

Evans says both legislative bodies have removed any language which would address what he sees as the key issues – those that enhance the doctor-patient relationship and health education iniatives.
Evans made the comments on Inside INdiana Business with Gerry Dick. Among Indiana's Congressional, votes were made along party lines. Democrats Andre Carson, Joe Donnelly, Brad Ellsworth, Baron Hill and Pete Visclosky supported the measure, while Republicans Dan Burton, Steve Buyer, Mike Pence and Mark Souder opposed it.
