t r u t h o u t | Many House Democrats Still Resist Health Care Bill

Description

Washington - Democrats in the House of Representatives struggled Friday to find enough votes to pass sweeping health care legislation, as lawmakers prepared for an all-day debate and perhaps a final vote on the bill Saturday.

President Barack Obama was scheduled to visit Capitol Hill early Saturday to give the House's 258 Democrats a pep talk and a push to back the top priority on his 2009 domestic agenda - although White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Friday that Obama's schedule is subject to change.
