The Takeaway
The World

It seems the American people are playing the “wait-and-see” game on whether health care reform passes before the year’s end or not. Right now the bill stands on the Senate floor where Harry Reid and other Democrats are fighting for every last vote that they can muster up. One of those Democrats is our guest, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), who also talks about the prospects for jobs in a slow economy.
