Congress faces holiday crunch as health care fix collides with shrinking calendar

Key Highlights

• Congress has been back after the week-plus Thanksgiving Day break.
• And days are slipping off the calendar as lawmakers struggle to assemble a plan to address health care or defray the cost of spiking premiums.
• The deadline is the end of the calendar year.
• But Fox is told that the insurance companies just need action by Jan.
• 15. Still, that doesn’t give Congress much time to act.
