The House of Representatives passed a health care bill late last night. The lone Republican who voted YES was Rep. Anh Cao from Louisiana. No matter how anyone feels about the bill in particular, or the general movement toward universal health care, EVERYONE should be disgusted at the following sentence from a post on Newsweek - "It's unclear whether Republican leaders will discipline Cao for breaking ranks and allowing Democrats to claim the bill had 'bipartisan support.'"
Why should any of the people's representatives be "disciplined" for voting his or her conscience? Talk about loving the party more than the country, or more than one's principles. UGH!
