The Democrats' goal is for both chambers to pass their versions by the end of the summer, work out their differences in the fall and have a bill on Barack Obama's desk by the end of the year. "This window between now and the August recess, I think, is going to be the make-or-break period," the President said on June 2, before a meeting with Senate Democrats.
