disgrace mention despicable human care serving country--only fellow corrupt liberals 
 
NEXT IT WILL GO TO THE SENATE:
  • List of all Democrats in the US Senate
  • List of all Republicans in the US Senate

    But the Senate has yet to begin floor debate on its own version of insurance reform. That debate may be weeks away, with Senate Democratic leaders still negotiating over the details of their legislation. If the Senate enacts its bill, conferees from House and Senate would then meet to negotiate a final compromise measure. That compromise would then need to be voted on by the House and Senate. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33748707/ns/politics-health_care_reform/

     Joe Cao (R-Louisiana) was the only Republican who voted in favor of the bill.

    House Democrats Who Voted Against the Health Care Bill

    Lawmakers in the House voted 220 to 215 on Saturday night to approve a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s health care system. Only one Republican voted for the bill, and 39 Democrats opposed it, including 24 members of the fiscally conservative Blue Dog Coalition. An overwhelming majority of the Democratic lawmakers who opposed the bill — 31 of the 39 — represent districts that were won by Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, in the 2008 presidential election, and a third of them were freshmen. Nearly all of the fourteen freshmen Democrats who voted “no” represent districts that were previously Republican and are considered vulnerable in 2010. Geographically, 22 lawmakers from southern states formed the largest opposition bloc. Below are details on the Democrats that opposed the health care legislation in the House.
