The Congressional Budget Office recently said that the health care bill before Congress would cost $940 billion and reduce future federal deficits by $138 billion over 10 years. How will your Representative vote? Who is voting yes? Who is voting no? Who is on the fence. Which way will they lean?
The New York Times has an interactive infographic showing all the Representatives, and where they have lined up already. For those Representatives who have not publicly declared their position, the Times includes some history on how they have voted in the past which gives clues as to how they will vote on the bill.
Below are House Democrats who may decide the fate of the health care overhaul in coming days. Some are members who supported Representative Bart Stupak’s amendment that added abortion restrictions to the House’s bill, which passed in November, and feel the Senate bill, which the House will be voting on, is too weak on abortion. There are also representatives who voted “no” in November, but who party leaders hope to sway. If all of the current 431 House members vote, Democrats will need 216 to pass.
This is an interesting comparison to the Washington Post version.
