<!-- context: --> House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) today reached 216, the magic number of votes she needs for health care reform to pass, after Rep. Suzanne Kosmas (D-Fla.) switched to a "yes."
But there's still a day and a half remaining before the House votes -- a lifetime in politics in which anything can happen.
The tally isn't official but represents an estimate by Fox News of all the lawmakers who have gone on the record with their position. There are still "undecided" votes out there and the "maybes" are not being listed.
