Question by demhater: Will Obama to try cancel the judgeship 2 Mathesons brother now that he has reneged on the deal & will vote no?
Holding to form, Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, announced Saturday that he would oppose his party’s health reform bill, just like he did when the House version came up for a vote late last year.

Matheson, a conservative Democrat and leader of the Blue Dog caucus, said he is convinced the massive $ 940 billion bill would “leave our nation worse off.”

“I am saddened that the year-long debate on health reform has resulted in legislation that is too expensive, contains too many special deals, does not contain health care costs and will result in increases in health insurance premiums and therefore I will vote against the legislation,” he said.

Question by _______: In your opinion: Can you really call it “reform” when you have to buy votes at 0 million per vote?

Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu’s (D-LA) healthcare position may soon favor passage of the bill, and the possible reason is written right into the bill.

According to ABC News’s Jonathan Karl, Majority Leader Reid’s (D-NV) bill has a provision increasing federal Medicaid subsidies for “certain states recovering from a major disaster.” The section goes on for two pages defining which “states” would qualify, including states that “during the preceding 7 fiscal years” have been declared a “major disaster area.”

How many states does that apply to? Exactly one state: Lousiana, home of Senator Mary Landrieu. In other words the healthcare bill spends two pages describing what could be written in one single word: “Louisiana”.

There’s an urgent vote on healthcare in Congress. Please call your Congressman right away, and ask him to vote against this bad bill. Watch the video to learn more.
