HEALTH BILL. Leaders of the U.S. House and Senate are meeting to reconcile differences on the two versions of the health reform bill. Pending issues include how to afford health insurance policy, how to hold insurance companies accountable, and access to health care, immigration and employer mandates. A vote on a final bill is expected later this month or early February.
Also, on National Influenza Immunization Week, a top health official from California comments on how millions of US residents can protect themselves against the H1N1 virus.
