Arcuri uncertain how he will vote on health care

Rep. Michael Arcuri, D-Utica, said he has not decided how he'll vote on a health care bill likely to come before the House of Representatives in the next three weeks.

``I won't know until I see what kind of guarantees there are that this is going to be a good bill,'' he said.

In November, Arcuri voted "yes" as House Democrats passed a comprehensive health-insurance reform bill that included a public option _ a government-sponsored insurance plan to compete with corporate insurers.

KEYWORDS: healthbill; obamacare
A few days earlier he said he was leaning against this bill. I guess he needs some phone calls from his constituents. I've called a number of times. He is in the 24th NY congressional district. He can be reached at 202-225-3665 (DC office) or 315-793-8146/8147 (Utica office). I've been able to reach him at the DC number. I live in a swing district. Right now he is in a very tight race with Richard Hanna. He likes to play coy with this health bill until the very last moment. A think a little persuasion wouldn't hurt

Hope this guy has another set of skills besides being a politician. If he votes for this stuff he’ll be looking for other work too in November. Welcome to the unemployed!!

Might I suggest 100 million for your district and 2 million for your war chest. Do not go cheap, please. /s

"Harry, I'm gonna need a little something-something for my trouble..."

"He will be bought off."

That's what he seems to be signalling. The son of a dog.

Before It Before He Was Against It: Arcuri Will Likely Vote No on Health Care

Posted 3/3/10 at TPM Lefty website

Arcuri is in a really tough race. I'll be very surprised if he votes yes.
