House Democrats don't like the Senate's version of healthcare reform, but want to send a bill to the White House. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has a solution. They can vote on a popular package of fixes, without ever voting on the measure itself. Cliff Stearns (R-FL) says the "2309-page document makes a mockery of the entire budget reconciliation process."
