Democrat Dennis Kucinich is ok with voting against health care reform
Post ID #1194 | RSS comments feed for this post
As a final vote on U.S. health care reform nears, Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), known for being a far left liberal, has made clear that he'll vote against the final bill. Among his concerns are the "...timidity of the legislative language and, specifically, the unwillingness of lawmakers to seriously consider a single payer system".
With the final House vote promising to be close, Democrats are growing alarmed at Kucinich's position, with Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas promising a primary challenger if the Congressman proceeds to vote against reform.

Nancy Pelosi noted this morning that the public option is dead, really dead this time. It's not that she and others didn't want it, but it just doesn't have the votes in the House AND Senate.

I've heard from someone on the Hill they have the votes now and it's going to pass.
