Georgia Dems Split: Bishop a ‘YES’/Barrow a ‘NO’
“The two undecided Georgia Democrats in Congress will split their votes on health care reform. U.S. Rep. Sanford Bishop of Albany said he will vote yes on Democrats’ health care reform legislation when it comes to a final vote in the U.S. House, probably on Sunday afternoon…Another Georgia Democrat who was previously on the fence, U.S. Rep. John Barrow of Savannah, said Friday he will vote against his party…‘I am strongly in favor of reforming the health care system, but I don’t think this bill is going to do it, and therefore I can’t support it,’ Barrow said in a statement….’It threatens to overwhelm Medicaid in Georgia, and that’s not right.’” (Bob Keefe, “On health reform, Rep. Bishop a yes, Rep. Barrow a no,” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 03/19/10) By Code Red
