In a mild rebuke to President Barack Obama, more than three dozen House Democrats broke with their party Friday in supporting a measure the GOP said would help reverse cancellation of Americans individual insurance plans.
Thirty-nine Democrats voted with all but four Republicans to pass the bill, which was sponsored by Republican Fred Upton of Michigan.
The White House had feared that more politically vulnerable Democrats, loathe to be accused of voting against a measure that could help constituents who have received a cancellation notice, might support the legislation in a tacit rebuke of Obamas handling of the health care issue.
The revolt by House Democrats was still relatively modest, signaling that the party is mostly satisfied with the administrative fix Obama announced yesterday during a contrite press conference at the White House. GOP aides had suggested that as many as 60 Democrats might break with the president.

Mild Rebuke? WTHuh???
repubs helping dems keep their house and senate seats.
And the four Republicans who voted *against* the Upton bill: Bridenstine, Broun, Hall, Massie
It’ll never get by the senate as is. Mary Landrieus version is much the same only making the extension provision two years instead of one.
She knows that a one year extension isn’t long enough to get her past next years elections as new cancellation notices would be going out just prior to the election and be that much fresher on voters minds.
A “mild rebuke”. LOL! Just another “mild rebuke”. Nothing serious.
The idiot that wrote this garbage obviously never studied Goebbels and his treatise on “Bad Propganda”
