The next six weeks are critical ones in the national health reform debate:
Next week: House releases full version of health reform bill; Two Senate committees release their own versions.
Week of June 20: Members of Congress start talking with constituents on health reform bill details.
NOTE: There are some reports that Democratic leaders will hold the full text of their health care bills until after the July 4th break, but this is very unclear.
July: Bills amended in committee and on to floor (this may happen earlier in the Senate).
Final vote in House by August 1 recess.
Final vote in Senate by August 7 recess.
Bill would go to conference after the August recess.
President Obama could have a final version by October.
