The White House says the American people are on the "verge" of health-care reform. One big hurdle remains before the needed legislation can be signed into law.

This may be the most difficult part of all.

When Congress returns in the new year, negotiators for the House and Senate will begin the tough task of merging their different versions of health-care reform legislation into one bill the president can sign.

白宮稱，美國人民即將獲得醫療改革的成功。然而，在最終簽署法律之前，該立法仍然面臨很大的障礙。

這可能是最為困難的部分。

國會新年歸來之時，參議院和眾議院談判人員將開始一項艱巨的任務，將兩個版本的醫改立法融為一體，隨后奧巴馬總統將其簽署法律。
