Democrats to Watch on the Health Care Vote
Below are House Democrats who may decide the fate of the health care overhaul. Some of them supported Representative Bart Stupak’s amendment that added abortion restrictions to the House’s bill, which passed in November, and feel the Senate bill, which the House will be voting on, is too weak on abortion. There are also representatives who voted “no” in November, but who party leaders hope to sway. If all of the current 431 House members vote, Democrats will need 216 to pass. The votes tracked below are based on a variety of factors — including the political landscape in each district, and the lawmaker’s voting record and past statements on health care. The list will be updated as lawmakers announce their intentions.
