House Democrats who voted against the health care bill.

It also lists how much they won their last election by, what percentage of non-insured elderly there are in their districts, and some stats on how their district voted in the last presidential election.

Side note: One (and only one) Republican broke ranks in the House to vote for the health care bill. His name is Anh Cao (R-LA), and he's probably not your typical Republican.

GOP lawmaker says Dems put agenda ahead of country

As opposed to what the Republicans are doing, which is.... nothing.

I love this quote, though: "A top House Republican says passage of the health care bill shows that Democrats didn't get the message from voters last week and in summer town-hall meetings."

Yeah, those town-hall meetings... which were largely astroturfed. And let's not forget the lies the Republicans have spread about "socialized medicine", including the bullshit about how Stephen Hawking would be dead if he had to rely on NHS. (Which, shockingly, he has for decades, and he's still alive.)
