WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic leaders in the House of Representatives lobbied undecided members for support and voiced growing confidence on Friday they will win a close vote on final passage of a sweeping healthcare overhaul.
House Democratic leaders were exploring a deal that would clinch the votes to pass the legislation, but they faced stiff resistance from lawmakers who support abortion rights.
President Obama made a final, urgent public plea for health care reform Friday, and he will address House Democrats on Saturday, a day before the scheduled vote.
