Democrats are planning to have the big vote on this controversial health care bill sometime next week. President Obama even delayed his trip to the south east in order to make sure this thing gets passed.

I’m delighted that the president will be here for the passage of the bill, It’s going to be historic. And it would not be possible without his tremendous, tremendous leadership, his persistence, his concern for the American people, always guided by his statement that we will measure our success by the progress being made by America’s working families.”

This is what Nancy Pelosi said to reporters earlier today as she found out that Obama will be staying for the vote. Let's hope they can actually get this thing done and move on to some other topic like the torture debate like in the post right below this one about the topic.
