Pelosi: “We’re on the brink of passing healthcare reform"

By GottaLaff

Democrats have been on the brink of a lot of things, but health care reform hasn't been one of them... until now:

After a year of legislative tussling among Democrats in both the House and Senate and after an intense day of negotiating between Obama and the leaders of both chambers on Wednesday, senior House Democrats indicated they could be ready to put the finishing touches on final legislation before the beginning of next week.

“We’re on the brink of passing healthcare reform,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). “We are making progress which will get [us] closer to reconciling the House and Senate bills.”
