FOXNews.com - 'Sweetheart' Deals Still on the Table as House Deadline for Health Care Vote Slides: "The White House is pushing to strip out a number of 'sweetheart' deals in the Senate bill as Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that Democrats are unlikely to make the March 18 deadline set by President Obama for passage, an indication the House speaker doesn't have the votes to pass it.
Pelosi said 'March 18 is an interesting date' as she announced lawmakers are still waiting for a Congressional Budget Office report on the cost of the legislation.
'Our clock starts ticking when we get the final CBO report,' Pelosi said. 'We don't have the final report yet but we have a pretty good idea of where we are going on it.'"
