WASHINGTON, Mar 17 (AFP): Former president Bill Clinton predicted Tuesday that President Barack Obama's signature health overhaul will become law even as fellow Democrats in the US Congress hunted for critical, elusive votes.
"I just want it to pass, and I think it will," he told reporters during a rare visit to the US Capitol for closed-door talks with Senate Democrats, billed as focused on climate change and job creation.
As enough Democrats wavered to put the fate of the historic legislation's in doubt, Clinton stressed "it doesn't have to be perfect" and predicted lawmakers would have to keep working to fine-tune the system.
