Just in: Four down, two to go
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The House of Representatives has passed the fourth bill of the Democrats' '100 hour' six bill agenda -- legislation that requires the government to negotiate lower drug prices for prescription medications for Medicare recipients .
The bill passed 255-170. The bill may have to undergo several changes to win enough support in the Senate. President Bush has threatened to veto the legislation as it stands now. The '100 hour clock' now stands at 23:18:00 -- CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
