The Scramble for Votes

" Percent. House leaders are forging ahead with a vote on health care legislation Saturday despite mixed messages on whether or not they have the votes to pass it. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is working feverishly to appease wavering caucus members. And President Obama is headed to Capitol Hill this weekend to lend a hand. Chief political correspondent chief Washington correspondent Jim Angle has the latest."

" As speaker Nancy Pelosi sworn in Bill O'Reilly is the new us democratic congress she knew she would need every last vote she didn't get on health care. She and other democratic leaders spent the day scrambling for votes and trying to satisfy disgruntled pockets of Democrats. Concerned about everything from abortion to illegal aliens getting subsidized insurance. And majority leader Steny Hoyer indicated the search for a -- vote. Could take longer than anticipated."

" Wanna clarify make sure that everybody understands. It is our intent to finish the health care bill. But assuming that we finish the health care bill sometime Saturday Saturday night or early as Sunday morning."

" Or perhaps Monday he's dead or even Tuesday which could complicate plans for President Obama the company try to twist enough arms to pass the bill. Which had been scheduled for Saturday. Some arms he and others may need to twister those Democrats who were not yet convinced the democratic bill will make absolutely sure no taxpayer money could be used to support abortion."

" Paramount is protecting life and this has to be -- part of it hand if anything it can't then that's. You know that's bill we can't get away."

" Ellsworth has compromised language but it's not clear whether will ultimately be included or whether it would satisfy all those concerned about abortion. Another group of Democrats worry that illegal aliens might be able to get subsidized insurance under the democratic plan. That is just one of several Republican objections."

" Democrats still raise taxes -- over 700 billion dollars many of those tax increases -- hit families with incomes. Below 250000. Dollars Democrats don't we use the funds to pay for abortion. The democratic fill out taxpayer money to subsidize health insurance for millions of illegal immigrants."

" The health care bill latest last stop before heading to the floor for a vote at the rules committee which determines among other things how many amendments will be allowed the answer is to the so called manager's amendment from majority leader -- with last minute changes. And the Republican plan which will be offered as a substitute for the democratic bill."

" Now would Democrats go to the floor if they're not sure whether or not they have the votes. One member of the leadership says you don't want to roll the dice on this we're not going to the floor unless the votes are there. There are also complications outside congress the AMA American Medical Association is meeting he had -- he endorsed the house bill. But delegations from four states and several surgeons groups will move to revoke that endorsement. So the same kind of debate you're saying and congress. Is also being held among medical groups Brett. Looks like you'll come down to the wire will cover all weekend here on Fox News Channel Jim."
