President
Barack Obama and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) secured a critical
bloc of healthcare votes on Thursday when the Congressional Hispanic
Caucus (CHC) announced its support.
Half a dozen members of the
CHC held a news conference to announce their support. They were unhappy
with language that barred illegal immigrants from accessing the public
health insurance exchanges. More than a dozen had threatened to vote
against the Senate bill and its companion reconciliation package. The
House healthcare bill, which passed by two votes, won the support of
every member of the Hispanic Caucus.
