HEALTH VOTE. U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., puts his hand on the back of Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., as Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., follows behind after the U.S. Senate approved President Obama's health-care overhaul in Washington Dec. 24. By a 60-39 vote, senators backed sweeping changes in the medical-insurance market and new coverage for tens of millions of uninsured Americans.
