Here in the United States, CNN is reporting five more House Democrats have announced plans to vote against the healthcare bill. That would leave opponents just eleven votes shy of the 216 needed to defeat the measure in the House. Within the Democratic caucus, opponents range from right-leaning Democrats, who want to include harsh anti-abortion measures or who think it’s too expensive, and progressive Democrats, who are insisting on a public option. One the most vocal progressive Democrats, Dennis Kucinich, has called a press conference today to announce which way he’ll vote.
