How They Voted on Health Care Reform
March 22, 2010 - by Donny Shaw
As I reported last night, the House of Representative passed the final vote needed to send health care reform to President Obama to be signed into law. The bill was approved with a handful of votes to spare, even though no Republicans ended up voting in favor. Here’s a more detailed look at how lawmakers of the House voted.
(If you don’t know who your Representative in Congress is, go to the My-Representative.org, and enter your zip to find out.)
The final vote was 219-212.
Every single Republican in the House voted “no.”
87% of the Democrats (219) voted “yes.”
34 Democrats voted “no,” 67% of which are members of the fiscally conservative Blue Dog Coalition.
A list of all the Democrats who voted “no” is below.
