This week on Politics Daily's online Sunday show, Jill Lawrence, Bonnie Erbé, Ria Misra and I discuss the imminent votes on health care reform, particularly the tight margin for passage in the House. We also talk about reconciliation and the "deem and pass" procedure that the House had considered until Saturday (who knew they'd change their minds when we taped it on Friday?).

If the bill passes Congress, will Americans forget the difficult path to reform once they see its impact? Click play to watch our conversation, and join in by leaving a comment below!

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
