Democrats confirmed Saturday that the House would hold separate votes
on the Senate healthcare bill and the reconciliation bill, making fixes
to it.
Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), one of the chief
deputy whips, Rep. Melvin Watt (D-N.C.), and Rep. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.),
all of whom said that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) won't use the
tactic of deem and pass for healthcare reform.
