After GOP leaders postponed a scheduled 2pm ET vote, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi - who opposes the inclusion of two provisions of the bill - told fellow Democrats they have increased their leverage to amend the legislation and strip out portions they dislike. http://nbcnews.to/12Tor7i http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
