Committee to Vote Friday on Health Care Rule Change
Pro-life Democrats confirm they will jump ship.
A rules committee is expected to vote Friday on a procedure that that would allow Democrats to pass a rule and declare the Senate's health bill passed in the House.
Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., who is head of the House Rules Committee, has proposed the lesser-known procedural move.
The rule can be passed by a majority vote in committee, and members will be able to tell voters that they didn't actually vote for the language of the bill that is unpopular with a majority of Americans.
