House Democrats will introduce their full healthcare reform bill Tuesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Monday while acknowledging she has much work left to do to win over members of her own caucus.

"We’re still on schedule. We have plans to vote for this legislation before we leave for the August recess," Pelosi said at a news conference. Pelosi said, however, that the bill to be unveiled would have to undergo further changes during committee markup to garner enough support among Democrats. "It is just the beginning," she said.

"It won’t be the finished product," Pelosi said. "In order for us to be on schedule, we have to roll out legislation this week."
