Dems face historic House vote on health care
WASHINGTON — House Democrats predict that a rare Sunday session will produce one of the most significant legislative triumphs in decades. Passage of a historic bill to overhaul the nation’s health care system would provide coverage to millions of people who currently don’t have it.
Republicans are firmly opposed to the bill and haven’t conceded defeat. But they warn they will make Democrats pay dearly in the fall elections if the fiercely debated measure becomes law.
With President Barack Obama’s emotional appeal ringing in their ears, House Democratic leaders prepared for a series of votes Sunday. Democrats need 216 votes to pass each one.
