This was a vote on whether a point of order raised against the major health care legislation should prevail. The point of order, made by Sen. Hutchison (R-TX), was that provisions of the legislation setting rules for state employee insurance plans would be an unconstitutional incursion by the federal government into the rights of the states. The point of order was part of the effort being made by Senate Republicans to delay consideration of the health care bill. |
