President Barack Obama said he's not worried about the process Democrats may use to push the Senate's health-care bill through the House, saying lawmakers' views on the legislation will be clear regardless of procedural controversies. "I don't spend a lot of time worrying about what the procedural rules are in the House or Senate," Obama said in an interview with Fox News Channel. "What I can tell you is that the vote that's taken in the House will be a vote for health-care reform. "And if people vote yes, whatever form that takes, that is going to be a vote for health-care reform. And I don't think we should pretend otherwise. And if they don't, if they vote against it, then they're going to be voting against health-care reform and they're going to be voting in favor of the status quo," Obama added. "So Washington gets very concerned with these procedures in congress, whether Republicans are in charge or Democrats are in charge." Fox released an excerpt of the interview, which will air at 6:00 p.m. EDT. Obama's comments come as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) weighs a so-called deem-and-pass strategy, under which the House would vote on a rule under which it would deem to have passed the Senate bill and a series of fixes. That would allow lawmakers to avoid voting on the actual Senate bill.
