Senator Hutchison on Meet the Press

As the dust settles from Saturday night's Senate vote on healthcare reform, the debate continues out of chambers.

This morning on "Meet the Press," host David Gregory welcomed four U.S. Senators who discussed their takes on the healthcare bill that will now be considered.

As expected, the two Democrats were optimistic about the bills chance of passing in the Senate, while the Republicans were not.

"Well, I certainly hope not. I think this bill is a disaster for our country. President Obama said that it would be under $900 billion. It is not. President Obama said it would not add to the deficit, it will. President Obama said that no one would lose the health care that they have, and they will. This is a terrible bill. What I would hope is that we could start all over with Republican input, which was not in this bill, and try to do something for the American People that will bring down costs, will not cut Medicare, and especially will give more access to people for affordable healthcare," Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison says.

The Independent senator, Joseph Lieberman from Connecticut, says he doesn't think this bill will pass as is, but he believes a similar bill may.
