Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid unveiled an $859 billion bill to reshape the nation's health care system Wednesday, setting up a historic debate over a measure designed to lower costs and bar insurers from denying coverage because of pre-existing medical conditions.  On Thursday, Senator Bernie Sanders, a member of the health committee, said, "This is a long and complicated bill and I won’t know how I’ll be voting on final passage until I see what happens on the floor and in the amendment process.  While the Senate bill contains some excellent provisions, the middle class must be assured that there are strong cost-containment provisions, that it is affordable and that it is paid for in a fair and equitable  way.”
