Matheson (D) to Vote no on HealthCare Bill

Representative Matheson (D) announced that he is a no vote on HealthCare bill. While this is important given the razor thin vote count, there is another reason this is newsworthy. Recently his brother was nominated by Obama to the Appeals Court, a move for which Bachmann called for investigation in over fears that some sort of deal was made. Matheson voting no seems to cut against the fear that their was a deal.

"Holding to form, Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, announced Saturday that he would oppose his party's health reform bill, just like he did when the House version came up for a vote late last year.

Matheson, a conservative Democrat and leader of the Blue Dog caucus, said he is convinced the massive $940 billion bill would "leave our nation worse off.""
