NATIONAL - Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives say they should be able to pass a historic health care reform bill this weekend.

The 10 year, $1.2 trillion legislation would expand health insurance to another 36 million Americans and include a government run insurance option.

Conservative critics say it will only increase costs and limit choice.

Several special interest groups have also picked sides and not all of their members agree with their stand.

Barbara Nerger is a retired senior who is not a fan of house bill 3962.

"I'm not for the what the government is doing about health care."

Barbara is also not happy with the American Association Of Retired Persons more commonly known as AARP.

She's a dues paying member of the organization but says their endorsement of the health reform bill has her questioning her loyalty.

"I think they should stay out of it. They've got too many members that I think feel like I do, and I just don't think that they should come out for it."

Barbara certainly isn't alone. AARP claims to have lost roughly 150 thousand members nationwide since endorsing the legislation on July 1st.

"An honest difference of opinion comes along with being a democratic person."

Former Nurse Ken Matheny supports the reform bill but says opposition to a government insurance option is certainly nothing new.

"Doesn't surprise me at all, because we've been trying to reach a national health care reform for better than what five decades?"

"I think that, you have to look at who's maybe, who's sponsoring those movements."

Deborah Nelson is the president of local Pensacola Chapter Of The League Of Women Voters - another organization that supports the bill.

She says people should get past what they're hearing from others and make up their mind for themselves.

"I mean follow the money trail. Who benefits if this doesn't pass? I think that's an easy question to answer for most Americans."

If the bill is indeed passed by the house this weekend, it will head to the senate where it will need 60 votes to avoid a republican filibuster.

Senate aides say they need commitments from three more moderate democrats to reach that number.Healthcare Reform Bill Could Pass This Weekend
