WASHINGTON - Democrats debated slapping a new tax on families earning more than $250,000 a year Thursday as the House raced to put together its massive health care reform deal in time to unveil Friday.
Democratic sources said many issues were still being discussed Thursday night, with the key item being the size of a surtax on high-earning families.
Suggestions approached 4%, but it seemed likely the final figure would be lower.
