House Democrats' 'no' votes are piling up on healthcare reform By Bob Cusack - 03/11/10 11:10 AM ET
More than two dozen Democrats are expected to vote against the healthcare reform bill that will hit the House floor in the coming weeks.
At least 25 House Democrats will reject the healthcare reform legislation, according to a survey by The Hill, a review of other media reports and interviews with lawmakers, aides and lobbyists. Dozens of House Democrats are undecided or won't comment on their position on the measure.
The 25 opposed include firm "no" votes and members who are likely "no" votes. Most Democrats on The Hill's whip list are definitely going to vote no, but others, such as Reps. Lincoln Davis (Tenn.) and Harry Teague (N.M.), could vote yes.
However, The Hill has not yet put Democrats who are insisting on Rep. Bart Stupak's (D-Mich.) language on abortion in the "no" category. Stupak has said there are 12 Democrats who supported the House bill in November who will vote no unless his anti-abortion-rights measure is melded into the final bill.
If leadership doesn't make changes to the abortion language and Stupak does indeed have 12 votes in his pocket, it will be very difficult to pass a bill. Yet if they do change the provisions, supporters of abortion rights in the House will threaten to vote no.
The Hill's list does not include members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, who are threatening to vote no unless changes are made to the bill's immigration-related provisions. Most on Capitol Hill believe that language will not be changed and that most members of the CHC will still back the final measure.

House dissident Rats to Obama, Pelosi, and and Reid: WE DON’T TRUST YOU!
House dissident Rats to Obama, Pelosi, and and Reid: WE DON’T TRUST YOU!”
Exactly...welcome to OUR world, Rats.
Hmmm I wish people would make up their minds. Some articles say they are good to go and then you have these that say they will never go. I wonder which it is?
Why are the dems so set on including abortion funding in this bill? If they removed that, they probably could get the votes to pass it.
Calm down..don’t you know it has to pass first before we can find out what’s in it we don’t like? What’s not to trust?? /MAJOR S
If The Hill, a communist front rag, says this.... then they are in trouble.
Such a principled stand. Stop discriminating against illegal immigrants! (unless you hand out some multi-million dollar goodies to my district, in which case I'll look the other way...)
I’m not holding my breath. These weasels will continue to flip flop until the last second. Right now this posturing is much ado about nothing.
As I understand it, to even try to use reconcilliation to pass this bill, the House needs to pass the Senate bill unaltered. Since it's in the passed Senate bill, it has to stay.
Class! And particularly you, Mr. (Putative) President!
The key to doing well in this `Getting Bitch-slapped II’ course is to perfect the motion of the head from side-side.

Are you students adequately prepared to rock?
(ruckus)
Silence!
You will know if the queen bee has the votes, you will be seeing it on c-span. Everything else is BS.
I agree with you. I think if they had the votes, they would be voting..not talking about it.
We are in the last days of Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House...less than a year to go before she is returned to minority status.
For precisely that reason, you must consider this disinformation and ignore it.
Keep calling!
Another way to see this is that the Communist rag is spreading misinformation to get constituents to stop calling...while Commie Pinko outfits like Families USA ring the phones off the hook...
The Hill is another non-partison not, yeah sure this rag has Kos and Lanny Davis writing this crap....never ever trust w/o verification of any source and especially one that has 100% of their market in the DC-NY axis of evil.
PLEASE CALL! DC OFFICE LOCAL OFFICE State District KEEP THE PRESSURE UP!
Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care
The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.
