REPORT NOV. 6, 2009 Some conservative Democrats in the House remained on the fence Friday over whether to vote for the party's sweeping health care reform legislation. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she is still aiming for a Saturday vote, although Majority Leadery Steny Hoyer suggested that timeline could slip. NewsHour health correspondent Betty Ann Bowser updates the latest health care reform news. UPDATE NOV. 6, 2009 House Democratic Leaders worked Friday to line up enough votes to pass a sweeping health care reform measure, but it seemed possible the vote might be delayed past House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Saturday deadline. There are 258 Democrats in the House, so leaders could afford to lose 40 of their votes and still pass the bill. Republicans are united in opposition against the measure. UPDATE NOV. 3, 2009 House Republicans are planning to offer their own 230-page health care reform bill during the House floor debate as an alternative to Democratic leaders' plan. The measure focuses more on controlling costs than expanding coverage. Among its key provisions, it would cap damages for pain and suffering in medical malpractice cases and would increase incentives for people to open health savings accounts. UPDATE OCT. 30, 2009 After being declared all but dead this summer, the public option is on the table in both the House and Senate. Health correspondent Betty Ann Bowser updates the week's news from Capitol Hill. VIDEO OCT. 28, 2009 Maine's moderate Republicans talk about what it will take to win their votes for health care reform.
