WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Democratic leader Steny Hoyer on Thursday said he expected the House to pass a sweeping healthcare overhaul on Saturday, but acknowledged that the vote would be close.
Failure to pass the bill in the Democratic-led House would be a major political blow to President Barack Obama who has made reforming the country's hugely expensive healthcare system a top domestic priority and wants a bill passed this year.
