House to Vote on Healthcare Bill

HeadlineNov 06, 2009

On Capitol Hill, the House is expected to vote tomorrow on a Democratic health reform measure. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she’s stripped an amendment from Congress member Dennis Kucinich that would allow states to enact a single-payer healthcare system. Speaking to the Huffington Post, Pelosi also said she’s undecided on allowing a vote on a separate amendment from Congress member Anthony Weiner to replace the proposed reforms with national single payer. If allowed, it would mark the first-ever vote on single payer to reach the House floor.
