THE MANTES POST

Sen. Joe Lieberman said Tuesday that he would vote to block passage of Senate health-care language in its current form, dealing a setback to Senate Democratic leaders’ efforts to gather 60 votes for the bill.

Mr. Lieberman, a Connecticut independent who caucuses with the Democrats, told reporters Tuesday that he would vote in favor of a procedural motion allowing debate of the bill. But he said that, unless the bill changes substantially, he would vote with Senate Republicans against a motion to allow a vote on final passage of the bill.
