Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.), referring to the House's passage Thursday night of the version of a patients' rights bill preferred by Bush, said, "The president had a victory last night. But I think it was a Pyrrhic victory."

Daschle and other Democrats reiterated their strong opposition to the constraints the House bill would place on lawsuits against health insurance plans. A Democrat-backed bill passed in June, while similar in many ways to the House bill, would give patients much broader legal rights. And the dispute on this key issue makes it uncertain if a final patients' rights bill will emerge.
