You might have heard last week that health care reform is "dead" or on "life support" after Scott Brown won a special Massachusetts election to the U.S. Senate. While Senate rules require 60 votes to pass reform, and the number of Senators supporting reform has fallen to 59, Congress can still adopt legislation to provide affordable and quality health care to virtually every child and their family.

The House and the Senate have passed different versions of reform. Normally, a conference committee would work out their differences, and then vote again to pass a single version. However, as a result of the Massachusetts election, supporters of reform, while possessing a large majority, will not be able to stop endless debate according to Senate rules. Alternately, reform can still be passed by the House of Representatives simply by passing the Senate’s version of the bill and sending it directly to the President for his signature.
