Will the House Trust the Senate?

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is hoping—but not promising—to hold a vote on health-care reform next week. Does she have the votes? The Hill counts at least 25 Democrats who are either firm or likely to say no; if 37 Democrats vote against the bill, it will fail. It seems like one of the biggest issues now is whether Democratic representatives will trust the Senate to actually make agreed-upon fixes to the bill after they pass it. “We’re in the process of trying to make the Senate bill acceptable to as many House members as possible,” said Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY). “But even the most trusting member, I think, is skeptical of the Senate.”
