Reuters: President Obama is holding "two meetings with Democratic legislators at the White House on Thursday as he pushes for a vote this month on his healthcare overall plan." The first, which was scheduled for 1:30 p.m. EST, "is expected to include 11 left-leaning members and leaders of minority groups in the House of Representatives, a White House spokesman said." The second meeting "is with leaders of the New Democrat Coalition, a group of centrist Democrats. Seven U.S. representatives are expected to attend that meeting" (Zengerle, 3/4).
The New York Times Prescriptions blog calls it a "full court press on health care" and lists the House lawmakers expected to be in attendance (Stolberg, 3/4).
USA Today: The meetings and related appearances are "all part of the administration's efforts to get the House to adopt the Senate health care bill over the next few weeks, the first step toward final passage" (Jackson, 3/4).
