Dems Balk on Details of Final House Health Care Bill

Quote:

A vote on House health care legislation may face a delay as Democratic leaders admitted Friday they don't have the support of 218 Caucus members, but any changes in the legislation to appease wavering members could force Speaker Nancy Pelosi to break a pledge to post the final bill online for 72 hours before lawmakers vote.

The House was expected to vote on the bill as early as Saturday, but Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland said Friday morning that the vote could slip to Sunday or early next week because Democratic leaders haven't secured the 218 votes needed for passage. Republicans are unanimously opposed to the sweeping legislation.

This is the GOP's fault dang it!

I happen to think this has more to do with the latest unemployment numbers and the protest held yesterday in DC. They need more time to poll their constituencies.

Hoyer will call them back in the middle of the night to vote on this the instant he thinks he has the numbers.
