The measure fell 13 votes short of the needed two-thirds majority, with 273 voting for the bill, including 44 Republicans. Democratics say the fight isn't over. "There will be no compromise on 10 million children's health care," said Rahm Emanuel. More »

The measure passed the House earlier in the week, but without the votes to override. More »
