Dems Lack Health-Care Votes

Whip Count

House Democrats don’t appear to have the vote for health-care reform—“"We don't have them as of this morning,” House Whip James Clyburn said on Sunday—but they plan on pushing forward anyway. President Obama is heading to Ohio on Monday amid predictions from David Axelrod and Robert Gibbs that health-care reform will pass this week. While at The Daily Beast's Women in the World summit this weekend, senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said she was "very confident" the vote would happen this week. Democrats will also get a final cost estimate of the package on Monday afternoon when the House Budget Committee votes on the reconciliation package. The final vote could come as soon as Thursday, though Friday or Saturday is more likely.
