Poor Congresspeople. Not.

In "What Happens to Health Care Vote in the House when everyone knows each vote is 'the' vote?," Ann Althouse writes her blog for voters who care about the Health Care proposal. Ann Althouse is an American law professor and blogger. "How intense! I almost feel sorry for them. Almost," says Althouse of members of the House. Althouse blogs that there are 431 members of the House and Nancy Pelosi needs 216 votes to pass the Health Care proposal. But as of today, Arcuri's decision to vote against health care has brought the number of yes votes down to 215, one below the number needed to pass the bill. Althouse questions if the members will "worry that angry voters will say this thing passed because of them, or say that the angry voters will say it failed because of their vote."

I wonder what happens with the final outcome of the health care proposal, if there is a final outcome. Arcuri's decision to change his vote to no makes me very happy. I don't think this health care proposal is right for our country. Obama and Pelosi are trying to push it through without caring about the voters opinion. These Congresspeople have a tough road ahead of them. I'm happy I'm not one of them!
