Senators are meeting on Sunday to discuss the healthcare reform bill.

After agreeing to a series of concessions on abortion, democrats secured a decisive 60th vote with Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson.

The latest version of the bill is not sitting well senate republicans.

Senator Tom Coburn spoke out Saturday about the bill.

"For the first time in the history of the country, under this bill federal tax dollars will be used to pay for abortions.  The negotiations, whoever did them, threw unborn babies under the bus," said Senator Colburn (R)-Oklahoma.

Republican leader, Senator Mitch McConnell, calls the bill quote "A legislative train wreck of historic proportions."

A vote is scheduled for 1 in the morning Monday, but the bill will still have to be reconciled with the house version.
