Breaking: Murphy may vote Yes on healthcare bill

Democrat Scott Murphy from Glens Falls was a No vote last time the House wrestled with the big health care package.

This time, though, he may be leaning toward a Yes. This according to The Hill newspaper in Washington:

Rep. Scott Murphy (D-N.Y.) is telling local media that he is keeping an open mind, and he sounds optimistic that the high costs that concerned him in the House bill in November may be mitigated.

“That’s why I’m spending the time to read the bill, to get into the details, and if, at the end of the day, I think it’s going to make the system better for people in my district, I’m going to vote for it,” Murphy told the Oneonta Daily Star.

North Country Congressman Bill Owens is seen as a likely yes. Both men are expected to face staunch Republican challenges in November.
