WASHINGTON (CNN) -- House and Senate Democratic negotiators reached a tentative deal Friday to use a fast-track budget process to move President Obama's health care overhaul, according to Democratic leadership sources in both chambers.

This would bypass the Republicans in Congress. Pass the popcorn and tighten your seatbelts!:popcorn: :toast:
