Pelosi Vows Passage of Health-Care Overhaul
Defying skeptics in her party, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vowed Sunday to overcome lingering obstacles and pass health-care reform in the House, restoring momentum to President Obama's top domestic priority and order to her own unruly Democratic caucus.

My editorial comment: I followed the election campaign very carefully, and saw Obama's CNN interview with Wolf Blitzer where he was asked to prioritize his agenda.

Recent House Votes
Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2009 - Vote Passed (265-166, 3 Not Voting)
On Wednesday, the House voted to reinstitute and update the Pay-As-You-Go requirement of budget neutrality on new tax and mandatory spending legislation.
Congress.org - Key Votes
Of course, the statute doesn't show up under Recent Senate Votes OR Upcoming Votes at this time. I suspect that there will be a significant delay here, given the fact that the "priorities" have been out of order since Day 1.
