WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday said that when the House of Representatives votes on the healthcare bill, lawmakers will have assurance that the legislation will also be passed by the Senate.

"When our members go to vote, they will have all the assurance they need that this bill will be taken up by the Senate and passed by the Senate," she said to reporters.
