House Democrats may pass healthcare - key Republican

WASHINGTON | Sun Feb 28, 2010 9:55am EST

WASHINGTON Feb 28 (Reuters) - Democrats don't seem to currently have the votes to pass healthcare reform in the U.S. House of Representatives but may get them, a key Republican congressman said on Sunday.

"They (House Democrats) do not now have the votes, from our best count," Representative Paul Ryan, top Republican on the House Budget Committee, told the "Fox News Sunday" program.

"I would not count her (Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi) out because she is very good at muscling votes .... The speaker is very good a making deals behind closed doors."
