ms fahrenheit : It is shocking how many repukes, and supposed Dems, have called in to say they are against the bill.
All Republicans and one-third of the Dems are against accessible and affordable health care for all. It's not worth mentioning why.
There's just barely enough people on the right side of this. It's going to be uglier still.

In a final push to get health care reform through the House of Representatives, President Barack Obama warned lawmakers on Saturday that a vote against the legislation would not immunize them from Republican attacks.
The president, according [to] multiple attendees, played the role of political prognosticator during his roughly 30 minute address before Democratic caucus members on Capitol Hill. Addressing, implicitly, those conservative Democrats who are worried about voting for a nearly trillion dollar health care overhaul, he insisted that they would not be safe from partisan attack even if they opposed the bill.
Correct. If you vote for the bill, your constituents will support you. If you don't, they won't. The GOP will attack you either way.
