Heart-Ache: Hoyer Says Health-Care Vote May Be Delayed
It's a flash from MSNBC, with no details yet: Dem leader says House health vote may be delayed due to lack of support
A House leader says Democrats haven't yet lined up enough votes to pass their health care overhaul bill.
Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland says the vote that House Democrats had scheduled for Saturday could slip to Sunday or early next week.
Hoyer acknowledged to reporters Friday that Democratic leaders don't yet have the 218 votes needed to pass President Barack Obama's historic health overhaul initiative.
He said he still expects passage Saturday night. But he added that some Democrats are still "looking to get a comfort level" with the bill.
