WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Members of the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday rejected a second amendment to a health-care reform bill that would have created a government-run health-care plan option. The vote was 13 to 10. Sponsors Sens. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., said the amendment would hold down rising health-care costs. Senators rejected a similar amendment earlier Tuesday.
