Sebelius confident health care bill will pass

U.S. Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius (seh-BEEL'-yuhs) says she's confident the House will have the votes to pass President Barack Obama's health care legislation — possibly by Friday.

Sebelius spoke Tuesday in Chicago at a conference on aging.

Her remarks come as the White House makes a final attempt at passing a health care overhaul.

Sebelius says overhaul supporters could have done a better job correcting misinformation on "death panels" and cuts to Medicare.

She also says foes of health care overhaul worked a strategy designed to scare older Americans, but supporters could have been more aggressive at telling seniors what the package included for them.
