How will North Country Dems vote on health care?

Freshly-sworn-in Rep. Bill Owens is a firm Yes on the health care reform package in the House.

Rep. Mike Arcuri, whose district includes the area around Old Forge, and Rep. Scott Murphy from Glens Falls still haven’t signed on.

From the NY Observer:

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer has said “we’re very close” to getting the 218 votes needed to pass the bill. Several other upstate Democrats in the House–Dan Maffei, Mike Arcuri and Scott Murphy–are undecided on the bill.

In a vote this close, the North Country seats that Dems have picked up since 2006 (Arcuri, Murphy, Owens) could make a difference.
