WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With a close vote looming, the U.S. House of Representatives was expected to open debate on Saturday on a sweeping reform bill that would spark the biggest healthcare changes in four decades.
President Barack Obama planned to visit Congress on Saturday morning to rally support for the measure ahead of a final vote that Democratic leaders said would be close.
Obama and top administration officials called undecided Democrats on Friday to plead for backing, and House leaders held talks with wavering party members to nail down the 218 votes needed for approval.
