WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--House Democratic leaders worked Friday to gather sufficient votes to pass major health-care legislation this weekend, despite lingering concerns among Democrats on abortion provisions in the bill. Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D., Md.) said they "very close" to securing the 218 votes needed to pass the bill.
In a conference call with reporters, he said he expected that the House would finish debate on the bill by 7 p.m. or 8 p.m. EST on Saturday evening and proceed to a vote, but cautioned that debate could stretch into next week.
