The House on Sunday will finally vote for the Democrats' comprehensive health care overhaul.
On Saturday, the House Rules Committee laid out the terms for Sunday's vote, most notably deciding to
abandon the so-called "Slaughter solution" and take two separate votes on the Senate health care bill and the reconciliation "fix it" bill. If the House passes both bills, President Obama will sign the Senate bill into law, and then the Senate will vote on the reconciliation bill.
Here is a rough estimate of the timing for Sunday's votes:
2 p.m.: The House will debate for one hour the rules of debate for the reconciliation bill and the Senate bill.
3 p.m.: The House will vote to end debate and vote on the rules of the debate.
3:15 p.m.: The House will debate the reconciliation package for two hours.
5:15 p.m.: The House will vote on the reconciliation package.
5:30 p.m.: The House will debate for 15 minutes on a Republican substitute and then vote on the substitute.
6 p.m.: The House will vote on the final reconciliation package.
6:15 p.m.: If the reconciliation bill passes, the House will immediately vote on the Senate bill, without debate.
