”A list of House Democrats who voted against a bill that would extend health care coverage to more than 30 million Americans. The House passed the measure 219-212, with every Republican voting against it.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) carries the gavel that was used when Medicare was passed by the House in the 1960s while marching with Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD), Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), Rep. John Larson (D-CT) & other members of the Democratic Caucus — arm-in-arm, civil-rights-style — from the Cannon House Office Building through a gauntlet of raucous tea party protesters to the U.S. Capitol for the health care reform vote.
