Maryland's congressional delegation voted 6 to 2 Saturday night in favor of passage of the landmark health-care reform bill, with only first-term Democrat Frank Kratovil breaking with his party and voting no. In a statement, Kratovil called the bill too expensive and said: "I was not able to support the bill before Congress today because I do not believe it meets my criteria for a sustainable solution."

ReplyDeleteI am glad Kratovil did what WAS Right. Voted No. This bill is a disaster! Go Kratovil you have my Vote!
ReplyDeleteanon 9:03 who cares - the votes he gained by voting "no" will far outweigh, yours, and any others he loses.
ReplyDeleteA yes vote means they no longer represent the people they serve. get them all out of office.
