Waxman was reportedly feeling sick yesterday and checked into Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for what a spokeswoman called "routine testing." She said he is "feeling much better now."

The 69-year-old chairs the House Energy and Commerce Committee and played a central role in House passage of the climate change bill. He is also a central player in the efforts to overhaul the nation's health care system.
