Healthcare Reform Odds Are 60/40 in Favor, Lake Says

UBS analyst Justin Lake says the odds are 60/40 in favor of the enactment of the Senate healthcare reform bill with certain changes made through a budget reconciliation process.  Lake says that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is building momentum to win the votes necessary to pass the Senate bill in the House.  While she’s not there yet, Lake says, “The power of the Presidency; the power and respect that Pelosi commands with most of her Democrats; and the power of being the majority party and being able to manipulate the rules of the game —  all argue that the Democrats will get it done.”
