The House majority leader, Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland, said on Friday that he expected the House to pass sweeping health care legislation on Saturday evening. But he acknowledged that Democrats were still trying to corral the necessary 218 votes, and that what he called Republican delaying tactics could push the vote back to Sunday or early next week.
[...] The House could finish its work on the bill, a $1.1 trillion, 10-year overhaul of the health insurance system that many Democrats have sought for years, sometime around 7 or 8 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday, Mr. Hoyer said. But he added, “Delaying tactics could be employed that would take longer,” and he said the House “could make additional time if needed” on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday.
