WASHINGTON (AP) - After marathon talks, the Obama administration and Democratic leaders appeared near agreement with Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson late Friday night to provide the crucial 60th vote needed for Senate passage of health care legislation.
Majority Leader Harry Reid
intends to unveil a final package of changes in the long-debated
legislation on Saturday "and is confident that it will prevail," his
spokesman, Jim Manley, said in a late-night statement.
