Teague voted for health care before voting against

BY Editor, ON MARCH 23, 2010

Below are the 5 procedural votes in which Harry Teague voted with Nancy Pelosi and the liberal Congress to move the HEALTHCARE BILL CLOSER TO FINAL PASSAGE.

Teague voted no on the final passage vote of the Senate version and reconciliation package, but he shows his true colors by helping his liberal colleagues in thwarting the coalition of Republicans and anti-big government Democrats in stopping the Healthcare bill on each procedural vote.

If Harry Teague were truly opposed to the healthcare bill he would have voted against the Pelosi push to move the bill to final passage.
