From Washington: Time Is Running Out for Lawmakers to Meet a Critical Health Care Deadline

This week, Republicans were able to breathe a sigh of relief after winning a congressional special election in Tennessee. With an already slim majority, a loss would have been a major blow to the GOP and their ability to accomplish anything in the House of Representatives. The victory comes as members of Congress race to finalize a healthcare deal before the end of the year. However, both Republicans and Democrats remain at a standstill, despite the government reopening last month. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins us to break down whether an agreement can be reached on healthcare and why it could hurt lawmakers if they fail to get a deal done by January 1st.

Rick Scott (R-Fla.) joins us to discuss the ongoing debate over health care reform in Congress and the U.S. military's recent operation targeting suspected drug trafficking boats off the coast of Venezuela.
