House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will start walking her members through major components of the final health care package Thursday as Democrats inch ever closer to a climatic vote on the landmark legislation.
“We’re going to get started,” Pelosi said as she left the Capitol Wednesday night. “We have some questions … but we’re hoping that we’ll get those answered over the course of the reading. It’s not much.”…
The briefing comes after another long negotiating session with Senate Democrats and top White House officials in Pelosi’s Capitol office. The two chambers are trying to resolve a long list of differences, both big and small, between their two bills.
“We’ve resolved a number of issues and seriously made a lot of good progress,” White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel said upon leaving, adding that the group may meet again on Thursday. “The staff now has direction to go work on a couple other things to basically resolve some issues. But we’ve made tremendous progress.”
