US President, Barack Obama, has been at Capitol Hill for a final push on health care reform as Democrats in the House of Representatives try to nail down the votes needed to pass the overhaul.

The roll call is scheduled for Sunday. Seizing the opportunity, Obama reiterated his appeal Let's get it done.

The political battle over health care reform has consumed the US Congress for more than 9 months.

The overhaul has also become President Obama's top domestic priority.
