The Washington Post reports Sens. Ron Wyden and John D. Rockefeller "have refused to pledge support for the health-care reform bill scheduled for a vote this week" in the Senate Finance Committee, "underscoring the hard work ahead for President Obama as he tries to enact the most ambitious domestic policy legislation in more than a generation." Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) "said he has the votes to pass the 10-year, $900 billion bill out of the committee," but if "all 10 Republicans on the panel vote no, two Democratic defections would be enough to send Baucus and the Obama White House scrambling to regroup."
