BREAKING! Healthcare Reform Bill Passes! 64 Democrats Side With Republicans To Pass Anti-Choice Amendment

In an historic vote, tonight the House passed the most sweeping health care reform bill since Medicare was enacted. The vote was largely along party lines - 220 to 215. Interestingly enough, a Louisianna Republican, Joseph Cao, voted for the bill as well.

As expected, enough Democrats crossed party lines to also pass a draconian anti-abortion amendment sponsored by Blue Dog Democrat, Bart Stupak. That it passed is no surprise, that 64 Democrats joined with Republicans to forbid private insurance companies from offering abortion coverage is.

Three California Democrats voted for the anti-abortion amendment, Costa (CA-20), Cardoza (CA-18) and Baca (CA-43)

Here is the entire list of Democrats who voted against the healthcare bill. Below that is the list of Dems who voted with Republicans for the anti-abortion amendment.
