She is the first one to officially come out against the Senate bill:
The Senate health care bill is not worthy of the historic vote that the House took a month ago.
Even though the House version is far from perfect, it at least represents a step toward our goal of giving 36 million Americans decent health coverage.
But under the Senate plan, millions of Americans will be forced into private insurance company plans, which will be subsidized by taxpayers. That alternative will do almost nothing to reform health care but will be a windfall for insurance companies. Is it any surprise that stock prices for some of those insurers are up recently?
If Stupak goes to the no column, like a lot of people are expecting and Cao follows (something pretty much guaranteed), then that means the final bill won’t pass the House.
Adding… Rep. Slaughter is the co-chair of the 190 member strong House pro-choice caucus, so her voice is pretty strong.
