In a public blow to House Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) over her confidence of enough votes to pass ObamaCare, a leading Blue Dog Democrat Rep. Mike Ross (D-AR) tells a very different story:
“No, I don’t think they have the votes,” Rep. Mike Ross, D-Ark., said, arguing if that were the case he and the other six Blue Dogs on the House Energy and Commerce Committee who have been holding up the bill in committee would be under far less pressure.
Ross says the concerns Blue Dogs have about the current House bill being too expensive and not doing enough to contain health care costs are widespread.
Looks to be a rift within the House Democrat ranks. This health care bill is quickly becoming a polarizing element not only among voters, but even within President Obama’s own party.
