Reuters reported on the gaining momentum:

Democratic leaders in the House of Representatives lobbied undecided members for support and voiced growing confidence on Friday they will win a close vote on final passage of a sweeping healthcare overhaul.

The House will vote on Sunday afternoon on President Barack Obama's top domestic legislative priority, which picked up fresh momentum by winning four new converts after receiving a good report card from congressional budget analysts.

"I feel very sure that we will vote sometime after 2 o'clock on Sunday and the bill will pass," Democratic Representative James Clyburn, the top House vote-counter, told reporters.

Top House Democrats pushed hard to nail down the last of the 216 votes needed to approve the overhaul, which would constitute the biggest changes in the $2.5 trillion U.S. healthcare system in the past four decades.

Tomorrow, we can extend coverage to millions. We can end insurance-company abuses forever. We can finally give Americans control over their own health care.

But we can't take anything for granted. The vote in the House could still go either way. It's up to every American who believes in reform to call our representatives and speak up -- right now.

So, if you haven't yet, please pick up the phone and call your representative. But don't stop there. Make it your mission today to get 5 friends or neighbors to call, too.

Call the folks you know who share our vision for change, and let them know that this is their chance -- our chance -- to not just witness history, but to make it.

Thanks for being there for every step of this final march for reform. And thanks for making it possible.

Thanks in part to the work of OFA supporters taking action and making their voices heard, we're closer than we've ever been to passing historic health reform. But what happens if, as some want, we do nothing or fail to act on reform?

If we turn back now, we’ll continue to see double-digit health insurance premium increases we’ve witnessed in recent months. A report by Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said that "leading experts have predicted that, without reform, these increases will continue, and the federal government and most states don’t have the legal authority to block or reduce health insurance rate increases."

According to the American Progress Action Fund, the insurance company WellPoint has implemented or proposed double-digit percentage insurance rate hikes in 12 states.
