U.S. House rejects Republican healthcare plan
WASHINGTON, Nov 7 (Reuters) - The Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives rejected on Saturday an alternative healthcare reform plan offered by Republicans.
The Republican plan was considerably smaller and more targeted than the one put forth by Democrats, focusing on cost controls and curbing medical malpractice lawsuits.
A close final vote on the Democratic bill was expected within an hour. (Editing by Todd Eastham)
