There’s another group that has a problem too, they can’t change the Senate bill;
http://www.statesman.com/news/nation/late-push-yields-more-votes-for-health-bill-403891.html
House Democratic leaders were working to head off a possible revolt among 15 lawmakers upset that House-passed increases in Medicare reimbursements for local hospitals were removed from the legislation.
The latest bill contains Senate language that several Democrats said doesnt do enough to overcome geographic disparities in Medicare reimbursements.
We need to make sure providers are reimbursed more on value than volume, said Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis., whos undecided on how hell vote Sunday.

I believe Oberstar was part of that group 15 lawmakers upset that House-passed increases in Medicare reimbursements for local hospitals were removed from the legislation, but the link requires a login. From the search; Oberstar: He'll vote yes on health care reform Duluth News Tribune - 2 hours ago http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/event/account:login/desturl/event/article/id/163494/ ... to the bill until he was assured today that a fix would be made to a Medicare formula that he said unfairly reimbursed Minnesota health care providers. ^ They can't change the Senate bill, which means Oberstar would be opposing quality of care if he votes for it
