The Week of June 30

Congress takes the week off for July 4th. Lawmaking gets started up again next week.

Even so, it may get around to passing a final mental-health parity bill or to expanding state run children's health care coverage (SCHIP) before the year is out. For more of what was doing in '08 for health care see health bills 2008.
