Obama Health Care Follow-Up: Scott Lucas on BBC World Service

Since the House of Representatives passage of the health care bill earlier this week, there has been a technical hitch. Because of minor differences from the Senate version of the bill, there will have to be changes and another House vote. Some in the US media are playing this up as a dramatic development; I see little in the story beyond a short delay in final adoption of the legislation.

I discuss the issues with the BBC World Service's World Update (clip starts just before the 27:00 mark).
