The House health care reform bill "has taken more twists and turns and has zig-zagged its way through more Democratic districts than the Mississippi River," The Hill reports.
"And after a month's worth of legislative wrangling and deal-making, the bill is approaching its final destination: a vote on final passage, expected sometime before the sun rises on Sunday. Pressing toward dawn on Saturday, the Rules committee passed a rule after nearly 12 hours that would set up a vote on the health care bill at 6 p.m."
"No Congress has ever come this close to the goal - first proposed by President Theodore Roosevelt - of providing universal health insurance."
