The United States Senate held a rare Saturday session to vote on amendments for the health care reform bill.
Democrats are hoping to have the bill wrapped up and passed by the holiday break, but that depends on every single Senate Democrat voting to go along with the plan.
One vote at a time, Senate Democrats are getting closer to a health care reform bill.
Lawmakers spent Saturday voting on amendments to a 2,000 page bill designed to expand health care to millions.
"14,000 people lose their health insurance every day," Democratic Minority Leader, Senator Harry Reid said. "The American people don't get weekends off from this injustice."
Democrats are pushing to get a bill done before the holidays, but fierce disagreements over abortion and the public option are threatening party unity.
Republicans are happy to let democrats fight it out.
