The US House of Representatives passed Health Care HR 3962 barely with a 220-215 vote. 218 votes were needed to win by majority. A win counts as a win no matter how close the victory may appear to be. Here is the tally breakdown of the voting on the bill:
219 Democrats voted yea for the bill and 39 Democrats voted nay. Only one Republican voted yea for the bill and 176 Republicans voted nay.
Even though the Republican vote didn't sway the vote, many conservatives will investigate to find out which Republican went against the grain. Well, look no further. The lone Republican to vote for the bill is US Rep. Joseph Cao, a representative from Louisiana. Many are attempting to figure out why he voted for the bill. Maybe he did it just to make a name for himself. Time will tell because he will probably be interviewed plenty of times this upcoming week.
This is only half of the process because the bill must now go through the Senate.

This stray Republican will be shown the door in 2010 as well as many of the 200 or so Democrats that voted for it.
Rep. Cao is going to get plenty of publicity this week. I know that there will be plenty of hemming and hawing going on in the Senate because Sen. Lieberman is going to stand on his no vote. However, I think that the bill will be tweaked so that the two Maine senators, Sen. Snowe and Sen. Collins, will vote yea to keep it at 60 because Sen. Snowe is on the Finance Committee. The biggest problem for me on the bill is that CBO projected deficit of $398 billion. Not so fast on 2010. That 23rd District switch to Democrat may very well be the deciding factor that keeps the House with a Democratic majority. 41 House seats have to flip over to Republican while the other 177 hold serve. That seems to be too impossible for the Republicans to overcome.
