Ironic, in "Liberal" Massachusetts, the State that has RomneyCare, mandated health insurance has at least 3 MA Congresscritters saying 'no' or uncertain to this HCR vote.

Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA), who voted for the House health care bill in November, will now vote against the Senate bill, Politico's Glenn Thrush reports.
Although Lynch is a strongly pro-life Democrat, it is interesting to note that the language on abortion does not appears to be his sticking point. Instead, he opposes any tax on cadillac health care plans, even under the delayed version in the new compromise, according to Thrush's report.
Mike Capuano, the guy who we thought should have replaced Ted in the Senate is uncertain.
From about a week ago ..

Other members of Massachusetts’ congressional delegation were grappling with the pending House vote to effectively concur with a Senate version.
In an e-mail alert to constituents Tuesday night, Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Somerville) said he’s still undecided on the legislation. Like Lynch, he expressed concerns that the bill could hurt Massachusetts’ new universal health-care program. Rep. John Tierney (D-Salem) was also on the fence.
People in MA .. you know what you need to do.
Both my Reps in NH are strongly in support of getting this done.
