As Democratic leaders continue to successfully twist the arms of the undecided in their caucus, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., declared Friday that the House is “one day closer” to passing health care reform legislation.
Pelosi picked up two more “yes” votes, flipping Rep. John Boccieri from a “no” and picking up the formerly undecided Charlie Wilson. Both Wilson and Boccieri are Ohio Democrats. Boccieri had earlier been opposed to the bill out of concern for its high cost.
