Senate Dems Struggle to Get Health Care on Track By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: December 14, 2009 Filed at 1:50 p.m. ET WASHINGTON (AP) -- Senate Democratic leaders struggled Monday to get President Barack Obama's health care overhaul on track for passage by Christmas, faced with moderates' opposition to expanding Medicare and internal party disputes over abortion and importing cheaper prescription drugs. In a make-or-break week, the leadership called an early evening meeting of all Democrats Monday, just hours after the latest obstacle emerged -- Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman's threat to join Republicans in blocking the bill over a plan to allow uninsured individuals as young as 55 to purchase Medicare coverage. The senator said Sunday he opposes it, speaking in a television interview and later in a private meeting with Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. Separately, Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., a leading foe of abortion rights, was scheduled to meet with Obama at the White House to discuss the impasse over stiffening the bill's abortion restrictions.
