WHIP COUNT: House Democrats' positions on the healthcare reform bill

By The Hill staff - 03/16/10 12:41 PM ET

The Hill's survey/tracking of House Democrats' positions on healthcare reform legislation.
UPDATED: 3/16/10 at 2:31 p.m.

RECENT UPDATES: Reps. Tom Perriello, Carol Shea Porter, Mike Doyle, Jason Altmire, Dan Maffei, John Boccieri, Steve Kagen, Dennis Moore, Suzanne Kosmas and Scott Murphy

House Democrats not on this list are expected to vote yes. However, some members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus who are not mentioned below have threatened to vote no unless the Senate's immigration-related provisions are changed.

All House Republicans are expected to vote no.

If every member votes and all GOP lawmakers vote no, the maximum number of Democratic defections to pass a bill is 37, which would result in a 216-215 tally.
