WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats pushed ahead toward a make-or-break vote in the House on a massive overhaul of the U.S. health care system on Saturday, boosted by a last-minute appeal from President Obama to pass his top domestic priority.
"This is our moment to deliver," Obama said.
House passage of the bill is crucial if Obama is to fulfill the biggest promise of his campaign last year. But the legislation still faces multiple hurdles and a Senate vote on it might not occur until next year.
