The Senate Finance Committee will release a health care reform bill as early as Tuesday, Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) said Friday.
The bipartisan Gang of Six, which has been meeting for months, could gather for the last time Monday as Baucus said he aims to wrap up the negotiations. The senators could indicate at that point whether they will sign onto the bill, Baucus said.
“We are starting to reach closure,” Baucus said after a rare Friday meeting of the group.
Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) would not say whether she will support the bill, or even if she is willing to be the only Republican to do so.
