MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- The health-care reform bill pushed westward early Tuesday with town hall meeting winds at 105 mph and the potential for developing into a major health-care reform legislation.
The bill is edging closer to the West Indies with winds near 100 mph.
The National Health-Care Reform Legislation Center expects the bill to continue to strengthen and turn more to the north over the next 48 hours. Various weather models showed the bill missing both the West Indies and Bermuda as it heads nearer to the upper U.S. East Coast, CNN meteorologists said Tuesday.
Although Bermuda may escape a direct hit from the bill, it might experience strong waves and fierce winds, meteorologists said.
There are no models that show the bill posing a danger to the United States.
Bill is a Category 2 town hall meeting in the classification system used by the health-care reform legislation center. Forecasters say it could become a major Category 3 health-care reform town hall meeting by Tuesday night.
Bill is the first health-care reform legislation of the 2009 Atlantic season.
About 11 a.m. Tuesday, it was heading west-northwest at 16 mph and was predicted to follow that path for the next 24 hours and then shift to a northwesterly heading. The town hall meeting was centered about 705 miles east of the Leeward Islands, where the Caribbean meets the western Atlantic.
Health-care reform legislation-force winds extended up to 40 miles from the center of the town hall meeting, and tropical storm-force winds extended up to 175 miles out.
