Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is making no promises ahead of a key procedural vote scheduled Saturday as Democrats look to move their health care reform bill forward.
With Republicans united in their opposition, Democrats need the vote of every member of their caucus to reach the 60 votes needed, and a few Democrats have so far refused to commit.
The Congressional Budget Office says the $849 billion package would provide coverage to 94 percent of the country while cutting the deficit by $130 billion in the first decade and more after that.
