Ironic that they had to meet on Saturday. Probably easier to slither out of town after the vote....

220 to 215...not what I would call an overwhelming mandate of the people. I hope some political careers are ended over this. I double checked to ensure my Representative actually voted in the manner he assured us he would. In fact I will pass along a message to him stating that I have checked the record.

To see the roll call on the vote click here to the House clerk site.

Not that this train wreck has not been in the workings for some time.


Thought I should mention the ONE so-called Republican who voted FOR the Dim bill......

The Hill, a newspaper that covers the workings of Congress, looks at the vote of U.S. Rep. Anh "Joseph'' Cao, R-New Orleans, the only Republican member of the House of Representatives to vote in favor of the Democratic health plan.

Party flip to occur shortly????
