katie? >> couric: congressional correspondent nancy cordes tonight. nancy, thank you. we want to take a closeer look now at that controversial strategy house leaders are considering. the reason they're considering it is they don't have the votes to pass the senate bill with a direct vote-- too many house members object to what's in it. so this maneuver would let them approve the bill without actually voting on it. chow that happen? we asked sharyl attkisson to walk us through it. >> reporter: if democrats have the votes, here's how it would work. the house votes on the health care bill that the senate passed december 24, the one with those controversial sweetheart dealss for select states, like that cornhusker kickback, the louisiana purchase and what seem see as federal funding for abortion. next, the house would vote on an updated version that fix it is things they don't like, like those sweetheart deals. that becomes a reconciliation bill. the senate passes that and it's a done deal. prob

katie, you were nodding your head? >> i think it's an absolutely great idea.here should be notification directly to people's homes. >> larry: what if someone is falsely accused by a 17-year-old girl, labeled for life as a predator? >> the more important issue is notification and monitoring these people. the idea of citizens having a duty upon themselves to go have to look at the registry, then to decide which crime, which means and which person, what happened where? that's not the way it should be. law enforcement should be watching the most serious of the serious. >> larry: to your knowledge, judge mathis, is a sexual predator, like this gentleman who has been charged, are they ever curable? >> i've read studies. there are studies that suggest that there are psychiatric illnesses in some and some are environmental. so i think that some instances there is rehabilitation available, but in many instances, it's incurable. in such instance, i think we should look into what california and florida allows, and that's chemical castration, particularly after a second o

katie is off tonight. it took more than a year of tough, loud, and bitter debate and at times it looked like it might never happen, but major changes are coming to the american health care system. changes that will affect virtually every one of us. the house gave final congressional approval last night to a health care reform bill and president obama will sign it into law tomorrow. but in a cbs news poll tonight on where america stands, only 20% of the public believe reform will help them. 35% say it will hurt. and 38% say it will have no effect at all. so what exactly will reform do and what will it mean to you? we're devoting much of the broadcast tonight to answering those questions with a team of correspondents. first, congressional correspondent nancy cordes on capitol hill on how reform finally got passed. nancy? >> reporter: harry, this was an historic win for democrats. just a few weeks ago, it looked like the legislation was dead. now they have pulled off a feat that eluded generations of their pr
