The following was emailed to me from a friend:

Rep. John Adler (D-N.J.): If the House and Senate can’t work out cost containment, I don’t see how I could support a bill that doesn’t help our business community,” Rep. John Adler (D., N.J.) said on “Fox News Sunday.” (John D. McKinnon and Jared Favole, “Democrats Voice Health-Bill Doubts,” The Wall Street Journal, 3/8/10)

Rep. John Adler (D-N.J.): “If the House and the Senate can’t work out cost containment, I don’t see how I support a bill that doesn’t help our business community and create more jobs.” (Fox News Sunday, 3/7/10)

Rep. Jason Altmire (D-PA): “Is she going to be able to hold everybody that was for it before?” Altmire asked. “What about the marginal members in the middle who got hammered over this vote and would love a second chance to perhaps go against it?” (Erica Werner, “Hoyer: Comprehensive Health Bill May Be No Go,” The Associated Press, 2/23/10)

Rep. Jason Altmire said today on Fox News that the President’s health care plan is a “missed opportunity” and is “very weak in cost containment.” (Fox News, 2/23/10)

Rep. Jason Altmire (D-PA): Others, like Representative Jason Altmire, a Pennsylvania Democrat who also voted against the House bill, seem to wonder aloud why Mr. Obama is bothering. With so many Democrats feeling nervous about their past votes in favor of the health bill, Mr. Altmire said, he can imagine vote-switching in only one direction: from yes to no. “I don’t know of any no votes at this point that would switch unless the bill is substantially changed, including me,” he said. “And I know of a handful of ‘yes’ votes who regret it and would relish the opportunity to put a ‘no’ vote on the board so they could go back home and talk about that.” (The New York Times, 2/28/10)

Rep. Jason Altmire (D-PA): “The Senate has given us a lot of reason not to trust them. Certainly that’s a key component of the dynamic of getting the votes is there has to be some certainty that the Senate is going to follow through on their part.” (Fox News Sunday. 3/7/10)

Rep. Jason Altmire (D-PA): “I’m not sure we’ve gone far enough in terms of fixing the underlying system to make it affordable for businesses and taxpayers.” Rep. Jason Altmire (D., Pa.), also appearing on Fox, said he needed “to see a much clearer picture of the cost containment.” (John D. McKinnon and Jared Favole, “Democrats Voice Health-Bill Doubts,” The Wall Street Journal, 3/8/10)

Rep. Michael Arcuri (D-NY) on the Senate bill: “There would have to be some dramatic changes in it for me to change my position,” Arcuri said…Arcuri says his opposition is based on three main concerns: That the bill is too sweeping and comprehensive; that Democrats plan to use reconciliation to amend it in various ways; and, substantively, that it calls for taxes on health benefits. (Brian Beutler, “For It Before He Was Against It: Arcuri Will Likely Vote No On Health Care,” Talking Points Memo, 3/3/10)

Rep. Michael Arcuri (D-NY) “NO” on health care: “I think the President wants action, but many people that represent moderate districts such as myself think that hey, you know, we need to take this thing and do it in a more incremental way, and we continue to think that.” (Gary Liberatore, “Arcuri to Vote ‘no’ on Senate’s Health Care Reform Bill,” WKTV.com, 3/7/10)

Rep. Michael Arcuri (D-NY): Arcuri, D-Utica, said he has multiple concerns with the Senate bill. “It’s not one thing in particular,” the second-term congressman said. “There is a real concern the changes we want in the Senate bill will not be passed.” (Mark Weiner, “Central New York Congressmen Emerge As Key Swing Votes on Final Health Care Bill,” The Post-Standard, 3/8/10)

Rep. Brian Baird (D-WA): He responded “yes” when host Candy Crowley asked if he would vote against the current proposals even if it meant that healthcare reform went down. (Bridget Johnson, “Baird: Healthcare Votes of Retiring Democrats Aren’t Necessarily In the Bag,” The Hill, 3/7/10)

Rep Shelley Berkley (D-NV): “I am not inclined to support the Senate version,” said Representative Shelley Berkley, Democrat of Nevada, who voted for the House bill in November. “I would like something more concrete than a promise. The Senate cannot promise its way out of a brown paper bag.” (Sheryl Gay Stolberg and Robert Pear, “Obama Calls For ‘Up or Down Vote’ On Health Care Bill,” The New York Times, 3/4/10)

Rep. Dan Boren (D-OK): “They can break my arms. They can do whatever they want to and they’ll never get my vote. Ever,” Boren said. “I mean they’ll have to walk across my dead body if they want my vote on this issue.” (“The Gales of November Came Early,” FoxNews.com, 3/6/10)

Rep. Dan Boren (D-OK): We cannot raise taxes in the middle of a recession. We cannot create a brand-new entitlement program when we can’t afford the ones that we have now. (Fox & Friends, 3/10/10)

Rep. Rick Boucher (D-VA): I reject unequivocally the unsavory deal making that took place in the Senate where Nebraska, Florida and Louisiana obtained special benefits that do not apply to the other states, and those special benefits provided to those states at the expense of residents of all the other states,” he said. “I simply cannot support legislation that contains those unwarranted giveaways to a select few states at the expense of the others…Boucher said he is hearing that cuts to Medicare funding to help pay for the reform package “may be as great as $500 billion. That’s ‘billion’ with a ‘B.’” … “I am persuaded that Medicare cuts at that level would impair the delivery of health care within our region. We have a large population that receives Medicare. It is the principal source of income for our nonprofit hospitals and virtually all the hospitals in my district,” Boucher said. (Steve, Igo, “Boucher Won’t Support Health Reform With Medicare Cuts,” The Kingsport Times News, 3/13/10)

Rep. Allen Boyd (D-FL): Rep. Allen Boyd, a conservative Democrat from Florida who voted no last time on the health overhaul, said Friday that using reconciliation would be “very problematic for a lot of House members” who don’t want Congress to override public concerns with the Democratic health bill. (Greg Hitt And Janet Adamy, “Pelosi, Democrats Push Ahead With Health Care,” The Wall Street Journal, 2/27/10)

Rep. Michael Capuano (D-MA): At this writing, it is not at all clear what legislative changes will be made to the final bill. Reconciliation is a complicated and dangerous process. In this instance, it requires the House to adopt the Senate bill and then trust that the Senate will pass, and the President will sign the reconciled bill that “fixes” any problems in the existing Senate bill. There is great risk in this course of action…Beyond the process, Capuano lays out a series of substantive concerns he has with the Senate bill, some of which he believes will fail the reconciliation test. (Brian Beutler, “Capuano Suggests He’s Leaning No on Health Care,” Talking Points Memo, 3/11/10)

Rep. Chris Carney (D-PA): “As I said publicly, I can’t vote for a bill that will publicly fund abortion,” Rep. Chris Carney (D-Pa.) told the Scranton Times-Shamrock. (Aaron Blake, “Carney Holds Line On Abortion Funding,” The Hill, 3/15/10)

Rep. Ben Chandler (D-KY): “Congressman Chandler’s position on the bill remains the same,” Chandler spokesperson Jennifer Krimm tells our reporter Ryan Derousseau. “He expects to vote against the legislation.” (Greg Sargent, “Two More House Dems To Vote No,” The Plum Line, 3/12/10)

Rep. Jerry Costello (D-IL): “I’m opposed to the Senate bill in its current form.” His concerns with voting for the Senate bill are that it would allow public funding for abortions, that the congressional budget office has yet to determine the cost of the bill, and that partially funding the bill by slowing the growth of Medicare by $500 billion would adversely affect senior citizens…I don’t like the process at all – I think the White House and the leadership has bungled this from the start,” he said. “It’s so complicated that the American people are fearful of what’s in the bill – this is a very complex issue that affects every man, woman and child, and it’s so complex that it scares people.” (Kathie Bassett, “Costello Opposes Heath Care Reform Bill in Its Current Form,” The Telegraph, 3/14/10)

Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper (D-PA): While Mrs. Dahlkemper campaigned as a supporter of health care reform and made an impassioned plea on the House floor in July, citing access as the problem that demanded action from Washington, she’s made it clear since the House acted in November that the key issue for her is abortion…Her office confirmed that recently when her spokeswoman said that Mrs. Dahlkemper could not support the Senate’s language “period.” (Nick Hildebrand, “Dahlkemper’s Health Care Opinion Is Hot Topic,” The Sharon Herald, 3/6/10)

Rep. Artur Davis (D-AL): “Congressman Davis will be present for the HC vote and he is a no,” Davis’s communications director, Addie Whisenant, wrote in an email. (Jeffrey Young, “Alabama Dem Lawmaker Will Break From Campaign Trail to Oppose Health Reform,” The Hill, 3/8/10)

Rep. Joe Donnelly (D-IN): President Barack Obama wants Congress to vote yes or no on a comprehensive reform measure from the Senate. Donnelly likes a lot about the bill, but its language on abortion is a “fatal flaw.” For him, it is a deal breaker. “I would not vote for it,” he said. He figures there will be a vote within a month or so. The abortion language is unpopular with “a significant” number of congressmen. It has the potential to kill the bill, he said…Joe Donnelly would prefer voting on health care reform one piece at a time. (W.S. Wilson, “Donnelly: Pass Health Bill In Pieces,” The Rochester Sentinel, 3/9/10)

Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-OH): “While I certainly support this initiative … I will not bend on the principle of federal funding on abortion,” Driehaus said in an interview with The Enquirer. “They are going to have to do it without me and without the other pro-life Democrats.” (Malia Rulon, “Biden Visiting But Driehaus Unswayed,” The Cincinnati Enquirer, 3/14/10)

Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-OH): Last fall, I worked to pass legislation to bring needed changes to our health care system, while putting in place strict prohibitions on the use of taxpayer funding for abortion. The House will soon take up this issue again. When there is a final piece of legislation, I will take the time needed to review the bill and determine how I will vote. However, my overall position is unchanged. Health care reform is critically important for our nation, and I support efforts to enact changes to our system – if those changes are done the right way. But I’m firm in my commitment that I won’t support legislation that provides federal funding for abortion.

Rep. Chet Edward (D-TX): “Once again, it will be a ‘no’ from Rep. Chet Edwards, D-Waco, on healthcare as congressional Democrats scramble for every critical vote. ‘If the question is whether I would vote for the comprehensive health care bill currently being considered, the answer is ‘no,’’ Edwards said in a statement to the Star-Telegram.” (Maria Recio, “Waco Democrat Chet Edwards Says He’ll Vote No on Health Bill Again,” Fort Worth Star-Telegram, 3/4/10)

Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ): “As I weigh it, I think — for me — a ‘no’ vote is something that I continue to lean toward,” Rep. Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz., the co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, told Salon in a brief interview off the House floor Wednesday. “Especially the last additions — that was kind of a slap in the face for all of us who fought for the public option.” (Greg Sargent, “Key House Liberal “Leaning” Towards No On Health Reform,” Plum Line, 3/3/10)

Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL): Gutierrez, a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) in which he serves as chairman of its Immigration Task Force, said the caucus still has concerns over the extent to which the healthcare bill excludes illegal immigrants as well as legal residents from receiving benefits in the healthcare plan. “They are enough to say I can’t support this bill,” Gutierrez said during an appearance on MSNBC. (Michael O’Brien, “Gutierrez: Health Bill’s Immigration Parts Enough To Vote Against,” The Hill, 3/11/10)

Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D-SD): “I will not vote for the Senate bill as is,” she said. “I will not vote for a package of changes that would go through the reconciliation process.” (Kevin Woster, “Herseth Sandlin Says No To Senate Health Bill, Reconciliation,” The Rapid City Journal, 3/4/10)

Rep. Tim Holden (D-PA): “I will not vote for the Senate bill,” Holden said. “It makes significant cuts to Medicare and Medicaid … and the restrictions on (federal funding for) abortion are not as strong.” (Ben Wolfgang, “Conservatives Urge Holden to Oppose Reform Bill; Holden Says He’s Planning To Vote ‘No,’” Republican Herald, 3/11/10)

Rep. Steve Kagen (D-WI): “Let me put it this way: you’re asking whether or not I trust the United States Senate, where they came up with a deal for Nebraska that the other states didn’t get; where Louisiana would get a special deal. No, I don’t trust the U.S. Senate,” said Rep. Steve Kagen (D-8th District). “So I think I’d like to have a vote on something very meaningful…I have made the case to the speaker and also to the White House that we should take small pieces, small bites,” Kagen said. “In the practice of medicine, I can’t give a child a big pill. What do we do? We cut it up into pieces. Let’s find things we can agree on.” (Robert Hornacek, “Congressmen Sound Off On Health Care,” WLUK-TV, 3/8/10)

Rep. Larry Kissell (D-NC): Indeed, Rep Larry Kissell of North Carolina, who was rumored today to be mulling a switch from No to Yes, is not changing his position, spokesperson Haven Kerchner confirms to me. (The Plum Line, 3/8/10)

Rep. Frank Kratovil (D-MD): “He would vote against it,” the spokesman, Kevin Lawlor, says. Crucially, Kratovil would vote against the Senate bill even if there’s some kind of verbal guarantee that it would be fixed via reconciliation later, Lawlor says. (Greg Sargent, “Another House Dem A “No” On Senate Bill; A Previous “Yes” Now Undecided,” Plum Line, 3/4/10)

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH): “I told the president twice in two different meetings that I couldn’t support the bill if it didn’t have a robust public option” or significant consumer protections, he said on MSNBC… If the White House is ready to go back and have a robust public option…Then we have something to talk about. Otherwise, I need to hear more about what they’re proposing. And what they’ve proposed so far isn’t anything different than I voted against.” (Jordan Fabian, “Kucinich Indicates Willingness To Be Deciding Vote Against Healthcare,” The Hill, 3/9/10)

Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-IL): Asked if the congressman is “open to voting for a health care bill that lacks the Stupak amendment,” Lipinski’s spokesman Nathaniel Zimmer replied in an email to The Weekly Standard: “No. Congressman Lipinski will not vote for a health care bill that provides federal funding for abortion.” (John McCormack, “Illinois Democrat Lipinski Will Switch From Yes To No If Health Bill Lacks Stupak Amendment,” The Weekly Standard, 3/8/10)

Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-IL): “I would not accept a promise that legislation will be acted upon in the future, because it’s unlikely that something will get done,” said Daniel Lipinski, D-Ill., who said he was one of the “Stupak Dozen.” “In my eyes, it would have to be done beforehand.” (Clea Benson and Edward Epstein, “House Democrats Still in Search of Abortion Agreement on Health Care Bill,” CQ, 3/9/10)

Rep. Dan Maffei (D-NY): “I will trust the president, but I will not trust the Senate,” Maffei said. “The Senate bill, in my view, burns the village in order to save it.” (Mark Weiner, “Central New York Congressmen Emerge As Key Swing Votes on Final Health Care Bill,” The Post-Standard, 3/8/10)

Rep. Jim Marshall (D-GA): First up: Dem Rep Jim Marshall, a prominent Blue Dog who voted No last time but was believed to be open to backing the Senate bill, is now a definite No, his spokesperson confirms… “Marshall is a no,” Marshall tells our reporter, Ryan Derousseau. (Greg Sargent, “Another House Dem Confirms He’ll Vote No on Senate Bill,” The Plum Line, 3/10/10)

Rep. Mike McIntyre (D-UT): “Health care reform is needed, but the bill before us is too expensive, does not adequately address rising medical costs and skyrocketing insurance premiums, and tries to do too much too soon. We simply cannot afford to create a new federal bureaucracy that costs nearly $1 trillion when our national debt is $12 trillion and there is no plan in place to address it. I will not vote for it.” (Scott Saxton, “McIntyre Says He’ll Vote NO Again on Health Care Reform,” WECT, 3/15/10)

Rep. Michael McMahon (D-NY): “I haven’t seen enough to have me come off my ‘no’ vote,” said McMahon (D-Staten Island/Brooklyn), who voted last year against a House version of health care reform. “I don’t see anything that would make me change my position.” (Tom Wrobleski, “Despite Makeover, Staten Island Rep. Michael McMahon Remains A ‘No’ On Health Care Plan,” SIlive.com, 2/23/10)

Rep. Jerry McNerney (D-CA): McNerney criticized the current version of healthcare reform passed by the U.S. Senate for the deals it makes with certain states, its lack of a public option and the inadequate number of people it extends coverage to. He said he would not vote in favor of that version of the bill if it comes back to the House. (Michael Moore, “Congressman Visits Morgan Hill,” The Morgan Hill Times, 2/18/10)

Rep. Walt Minnick (D-ID): Rep. Walt Minnick of Idaho will not change his vote from no, spokesman Dean Ferguson said last night. Minnick had declined to state a position when contacted earlier by the AP. (Charles Babington, “White House Hopes ‘No’ Votes Turn To ‘Yes’,” The Associated Press, 3/2/10)

Rep. Walt Minnick (D-ID): “If it is simply the Senate bill, I’ve looked at that and decided I was opposed to it.” …“This is not a process that I’m very excited about. I’d much rather have a bill that had enough support, bipartisan support, so you didn’t have to go through the process,” he said. “I think that sentiment is rather widely shared.” (Ryan Grim, “Minnick Waiting For Final Step In Health Care Fight,” The Huffington Post, 3/3/10)

Rep. Jim Oberstar (D-MN): Congressman Jim Oberstar of Minnesota has said that he will not vote for the health care bill if it lacks the Stupak amendment: “I will not vote for a health care bill that doesn’t have the House abortion language in it,” Oberstar told Congressional Quarterly on February 24. (John McCormack, “Illinois Democrat Lipinski Will Switch From Yes To No If Health Bill Lacks Stupak Amendment,” The Weekly Standard, 3/8/10)

Rep. Glenn Nye (D-VA): [I]f the bill that is put forth does not contain significant changes and does not actually reduce health care costs for Americans and small businesses, it will not have my support. I believe it is absolutely imperative that any health care reform bill reduces costs for families and small businesses, allows Americans to keep their existing plan and choose their doctor, is bipartisan, is deficit neutral, does not force Americans to use a certain type of health insurance, maintains Medicare benefits for seniors, and lowers the overall costs of health care. H.R. 3962 does not meet these criteria, which is why I do not support it.
Additionally, we must fix our current system before we add more people into it, which will only exacerbate any current problems…. (Jeffrey H. Anderson, “Rep. Nye of Virginia Looks Like A “No,”” The Weekly Standard, 3/15/10)

Rep. Tom Perriello (D-VA): “If the final bill is going to bring down premiums for middle-class families and small businesses, then I’ll support it,” said Rep. Tom Perriello, D-Va., a centrist who voted for the bill in November but is now reserving judgment. “If it’s not going to do that, then I won’t.” (John Fritze, “Dems Have Trouble with Health Care Rifts,” USA Today, 3/5/10)

Rep. Tom Perriello (D-VA): I just got off the phone with his office who told me that he was still undecided and waiting on the final language. I reminded them of the abortion promise, and the staffer told me unequivocally that if the abortion language does not change he will oppose the bill. He also said that if the middle-class taxes that are a part of the senate bill are not changed, that would lead him to oppose the bill. (“Where Are Pelosi’s Flippers?” NRO, 3/15/10)

Rep. Collin Peterson (D-MN): “No, I would not vote yes, and I don’t think they could pass it in the House,” said Peterson, the only Minnesota Democrat to vote against the House’s health care reform bill…Should a compromise plan not be possible, Peterson’s not opposed to punting. “I do think there are problems with the health care system that need to be fixed, but I’m not in the camp that says we have to do something no matter what,” he said. (Derek Wallbank, “Now What? Minnesota’s Delegation Has Many Views,” Minnpost.com, 1/21/10)

Rep. Mike Ross (D-AR): “He’s a no,” spokesman Brad Howard said by e-mail, in response to an ongoing survey of all 38 House Democrats who voted against health care legislation in the fall. (Jon Ward, “Arkansas Democrat Rep. Mike Ross To Vote No On Obama Health Care Proposal,” The Daily Caller, 3/8/10)

Rep. Mike Ross (D-AR): Ross, our only delegate seeking to stay in the House, tells me he remains “no,” even though the public option is gone from the Senate bill. He says the entire process has been “tainted” by political misplays and that 75 percent of his constituents are opposed. The Democrats have been “out-messaged” by the Republicans, Ross says. (Jim Brummett, “One of Our Lame Ducks Balks,” Arkansas News, 3/6/10)

Rep. Heath Shuler (D-NC) on Obama’s Health Care bill: “I was actually surprised that they’re pushing it again. The most important thing is jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs. We need to focus on jobs,” said Rep. Heath Shuler, North Carolina Democrat and a leader of the 54-member Blue Dog coalition of conservative Democrats. … “I don’t think a comprehensive bill can pass,” he said. “I hate to use a football analogy,” said the former Washington Redskins quarterback, “but first downs are a lot better than throwing the bomb route or the Hail Mary.” (Jon Ward, “Democrats’ Attempts To Coordinate Health-Care Message Leave Republicans Scratching Their Heads,” The Daily Caller, 2/23/10)

Rep. Ike Skelton (D-MO): Mr. Skelton says he does not see any improvements in the measure that would cause him to vote in favor of it; like Mr. Kratovil, he favors a smaller, less ambitious bill. “It would be a lot easier,” he said, “if we cut this back to basics — take two or three or four issues on which everyone agrees and build on it.” (Sheryl Gay Stolberg and Robert Pear, “Wary Centrists Posing Challenge in Health Care Vote,” The New York Times, 2/27/10)

Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI): Mr. Stupak said in an interview that even if the abortion language were tightened, he still couldn’t support the bill, because it didn’t include the House’s tighter regulations on insurance companies, and it retained a tax on high-value insurance plans, albeit a watered-down one. “We’re not going to walk the plank again just to see the Senate shut us down,” he said. (Greg Hitt, Laura Meckler and Janet Adamy, “Democrats Chase Health Votes,” The Wall Street Journal, 3/3/10)

Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI): I was pleased to see that President Obama’s health care proposal did not include several of the sweetheart deals provided to select states in the Senate bill. Unfortunately, the President’s proposal encompasses the Senate language allowing public funding of abortion. The Senate language is a significant departure from current law and is unacceptable. While the President has laid out a health care proposal that brings us closer to resolving our differences, there is still work to be done before Congress can pass comprehensive health care reform. (Ben Smith, “Stupak: ‘Unacceptable’,” Politico, 2/23/10)

Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI): “Despite the abortion language, no, there are other problems with this bill… [I have spoken to] probably about 15 or 20 of them in the last 24 hours they’ve said there are other problems with this bill.” (Jordan Fabian, “Stupak: 15-20 Dems Withholding Support for White House Health Plan,” The Hill, 2/24/10)

Rep. John Tanner (D-TN): Mr. Tanner has told colleagues he has no intention of switching his vote, said one Democratic lawmaker who has spoken with him. (Sheryl Gay Stolberg and Robert Pear, “Wary Centrists Posing Challenge in Health Care Vote,” The New York Times, 2/27/10)

Rep. Gene Taylor (D-MS): “I don’t think the votes are there it barely passed the house last time, and I don’t think the votes are there to pass it this time,” said Taylor…”Two-thousand pages scares the dickens out of everybody, and what’s in those 2,000 pages,” said Taylor. “That’s why the call has been for single item bills that are smaller and clear.” (Kevin Wheeler, “Gene Taylor Holds Town Hall Meeting,” WDAM.com, 3/1/10)
