Speaking with reporters on Capitol Hill, Reid said a slower timetable was necessary to ensure a health care reform bill would draw wide-spread support, especially from centrist Democrats who have expressed concerns the sweeping overhaul legislation is moving too fast.
"It's better to get a product that's based on quality and thoughtfulness than on trying to just get something through," Reid said.
