WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives said on Sunday they were confident they had votes to pass a sweeping healthcare reform bill and deliver President Barack Obama a landmark political victory.

We're well past 216," votes for the healthcare bill, Stupak said in announcing the agreement. He also will get floor time to discuss the ban on federal funds, which is the current law.
It will be interesting to see if Obama manages to pass this bill. Never before have people paid so much and seen so little.
