WASHINGTON (March 4, 2010)—U.S. House Democratic leaders are pushing for a final vote on far-reaching health legislation in the next three weeks in hopes of answering President Barack Obama's call for swift action on the measure.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Thursday Democrats would like to get the bill done by Congress' Easter break, which begins March 29, but Hoyer also said "the world doesn't fall apart" if that timeline isn't met, which was a nod to the many blown deadlines that have characterized the health overhaul effort so far.
Democratic leaders are contending with numerous undecided or reluctant rank-and-file members who want to see final legislative language before making a decision.
Hoyer said that should be ready by the end of next week.
