UPDATE: Kanjorski’s a Yes, Berry, Costello and Lipinski are No’s. So that makes it 217-212 with 2 undecideds.
Just because a couple people in the comments asked for it, I’ll put up the numbers at the bottom of this post. But as a news peg, let me show you Loretta Sanchez’ tweet from the well of the House:
Looking forward to casting my vote on this historic health care bill! House is currently set to vote around 11pm EST.
I think a “No” vote after that statement would be, well, odd. So she’s a yes.
For me, acting with an abundance of caution, I think it’s 214-209. So that would be two from passage, with 8 undecided.
UPDATE: Jim Cooper makes it 215. That’s one from passage. As I said, this is going to pass.
UPDATE II: Indiana’s Joe Donnelly was part of the Stupak agreement, he confirms. That gives the Democrats the required 216 votes, and 100% assurance of passage of health care reform today.

Indiana’s Donnelly part of agreement between anti-abortion Dems and Obama
So according to Stupak, at least, Donnelly is a yes – take that for whatever it is worth.
By the way, I only just now registered here to post this snippet, but it also allows me to express my appreciation for the great work you’ve been doing keeping up this list and tracking every single development about the Congress members on it. I’ve been obsessively returning to your page here for the past couple of days.
Meanwhile, not that it matters anymore since you’re at 216 now, but in terms of finessing the list, Arkansas Rep. Marion Berry declared he will vote “no”: see the text of his declaration.
I first saw that in the twitter feed of Taniel – http://twitter.com/Taniel – by the way; he’s the blogger of campaigndiaries.com. Such a shame he’s pared down his blogging, that site’s been a fount of detailed information the past couple of years. But he tweets a lot.
It’s 220, not 216, since they gained the Stupak bloc.
It’s going to pass. We’re getting this done for America. Health Care for all for the first time in history. Today.
OT in the KEWL category:
“Hubble 3D Debuts at IMAX Theaters”
http://newsjunkiepost.com/2010/03/19/hubble-3d-debuts-as-imax-theaters
Health Care for all for the first time in history.
Only if we kick out these corporate fucks and manage to change about 90% of the legislation.
Then, yay!
“We’re getting this done for America”? You sound like a Chevron ad.
Welcome in, nimh. I mostly lurk myself – great place, huh?
It’s pretty sobering seeing how hard it is to pass a bill that isn’t all that it should be. I don’t see how a bill with true reform could ever make it past 1st base.
And that’s sad.
The U.S. is incapable of true reform. To ossified and corrupt and it isn’t going to get any better.
srsly, i’m really enjoying Born Yesterday on YT along with following the Historic Horseshit tonight. Every frame of the beyond-brilliant Judy Holliday is a therapeutic moment of zen.
I don’t know. It seems to me it was hard precisely because they are doing one thing while saying another. I think if the President and the reps were not as entangled with the corporations (I know, I know), it would have been incredibly easy to do the right thing and crow to the voters with a clear conscience.
YMMV – I’m occasionally naive. ;)
LOL!
Not
I was curious as to why you have Linda’s picture up when you are talking about Loretta.
Sorry Balki—I meant that for kevinincharlotte
So now they aren’t even going to PRETEND to watch the insurance scum. You call that reform? So now, without any regulations, all the insurance companies can have yearly parties setting rates, and whatcha gonna do? Can’t switch companies, same price. Can’t drop them, cuz you HAVE TO HAVE IT. Are you people really this dense, or just Dem Party plants sent out en masse to shit on the blogs? All over the internet Dimwits and DemPlants are cheering like it is the greatest thing since Santa came down the chimney. Perhaps ol’ Markos can take a second out of his media career, and actually LOOK at the crap this thing really is.
What happened to the 60 “progressive” House members who said they wouldn’t vote for a bill without a public option?
For the umpteenth time, health CARE is NOT health INSURANCE!!!! This is being done TO the American people FOR the health INSURANCE industry.
I no longer consider myself a Democrat, BOTH major parties are fully owned subsidiaries of big business as far as I am concerned…
Apparently after all the money and cash, progressives were just told that the people they elected are actually dead and haven’t been in Washington ever.
Exactly. Just because you have insurance you can’t afford, does not mean the insurance company will agree to ANY healthcare whatsoever. Get ready for a pile of people with “Denied” letters in the mail.
OK, you’re setting up a joke, right? Punchline, please. ;)
Sorry, that was meant for kafka.
The joke is this whole situation.
I still think it would be nice to get an individual voice roll-call vote…someone ought to be number 216. Let’s put a name and a face on 216 at this proud, historic moment!
Won’t anyone stand up to claim the Obama mantle?
There oughtta be a long line…
Anyone…?
The local paper has an article about a 3AM Saturday deal that raises rural areas medicare payments for a 2 year “test” period or some such.
This has satisfied the holdouts for Medicare payment equilization?
Curious as to how many votes Nancy really has – is it 228, 224, or 222?
No matter – after the release of “congressman in close race” votes to vote “No”, the final vote will be 217 – and we can pretend it was close.
It will be interesting to see if the last – the only- progressive idea left in this game – the taxing of investment income to support Medicare – survives the Senate.
At least the health entitlement has been established – but it will be hard to change the current bill in the future from a subsidized health/Insurance co entitlement to the health care entitlement vis subsidized Medicare buy-in for a basic care plan.
Corrected, and ty
They became persuaded that it was important to take even a relatively small step rather than let the extremists on the left and right collaborate to lock in the status quo for another 20 years.
thanks for the welcome, petro!
