Republicans complain about plan for health insurance

Republicans started to complain about the size, shape, and cost of the emerging Democratic plans to remake the healthcare system, but Democratic leaders said they still intended to push a bill through the Senate this summer. And the chairman of the Finance Committee, Senator Max Baucus, Democrat of Montana, and its senior Republican, Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, expressed confidence that they could come together on a bill producing near-universal coverage.
