CNSNews.com - Pelosi 'Confident' She Has Votes for Health Care Reform, but Dozens of House Dems Still May Need Convincing

CNSNews.com - Pelosi 'Confident' She Has Votes for Health Care Reform, but Dozens of House Dems Still May Need Convincing: "(CNSNews.com) – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters on July 22, 'I have no question we have the votes on the floor of the House' to pass a health care overhaul. But the House Democratic leadership may find itself bleeding “Yea” votes when Congress returns from its August recess to take up the Obama-backed legislation.

Concerns about providing abortion with taxpayer dollars, taxing small businesses, and adding to the federal deficit -- coupled with political turmoil in their home districts -- means that even Democrats aside from the so-called Blue Dog fiscal conservatives have expressed reservations about the House bills as they now stand."
