Okay, a bit more bad news for the prospects of passing the Senate bill out of the House.
Rep Frank Kratovil of Maryland, a previous No vote who was now said to be undecided, will vote No on the Senate health reform proposal, his spokesman confirms.
“He
would vote against it,” the spokesman, Kevin Lawlor, says. Crucially,
Kratovil would vote against the Senate bill even if there’s some kind
of verbal guarantee that it would be fixed via reconciliation later,
Lawlor says.
The only way Kratovil — one of the targets of a barrage of NRCC robocalls hammering the reform proposals as “dangerous” — could support the Senate bill is if it’s fixed first via reconciliation, before the House votes on it. But no one expects this to happen.
