While there are 15 other Democratic members of Congress who remain undecided and 21 who say they will vote 'No' on the health care bill, Kucinich's vote is an important one for Democrats, signaling that even those who are staunchly opposed to the bill can be convinced to vote in favor.(emphasis added) This is almost humorous. Kucinich was only "staunchly opposed" to the bill not being more socialist.
When asked if other skeptical Democrats will also reverse their decision, Kucinich replied: "If I can vote for this bill, there are not many other people who shouldn't be able to support it."
The former presidential candidate was one of the leading critics of the Senate health care bill, insisting that he wouldn't vote for the health care bill unless it included the option of a government-run health insurance plan that would compete with private insurers. The public option was included in the bill that first passed the House, but was taken out in the Senate health care bill.
