The Republican tally for House votes in favor of health care reform: one. That one affirmative voter is Representative Anh "Joseph" Cao (left) of Louisiana. Explaining his vote, Cao said : “I read the versions of the House bill. I listened to the countless stories of Orleans and Jefferson Parish citizens whose health care costs are exploding — if they are able to obtain health...

Not unsurprisingly, many Blue Dog Democrats voted against the health care reform bill that passed the House of Representatives last night. Minnesota's Collin Peterson was among them . The normal argument these Representatives use when making votes like these is that they have to demonstrate their centrist credentials to "voters back home" because their districts are so conservative. The subtext,...

I'm never one to give up a chance to slam Third district Congressman Erik Paulsen for a terrible vote. His "no" vote on the HCR bill that passed the House last night is a great example of what Collin Peterson should have done -- take a district who voted for the other party's presidential candidate (Obama won more than 52% in the Third last year) and explain to constituents why you voted...

First, there was Anh "Joseph" Cao of Louisiana. A month ago, we thought he might be the most endangered member of the House. This might be a game changer for him: One unprincipled Republican, Rep. Joseph Cao (R-LA), now know as Joseph "Mao," voted for the bill. For all the turncoat "Democrats" who voted against: think what it means if an endangered Republican is re-elected...

The struggle being waged by concerned Americans at the grassroots level for real healthcare reform is based upon the fact that the overwhelming majority of the people in Minnesota and across this country want a Canadian style health care system coupled with a vastly expanded public health care system along the lines of VA, the Indian Health Service and the National Public Health Service; not to mention...
