Washington (CNN) - Rep. Anh "Joseph" Cao said Sunday he put the needs of
his district over the desire of his party in being the lone House
Republican to vote for a sweeping overhaul of the nation's health care
system.
Cao's "yes" vote ended up being unnecessary for House Democrats in the
220-215 tally, but as the only GOP member to support the bill, he gave
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi license to tout bipartisan support for the
controversial measure.
"I felt last night's decision was the proper decision for my district
even though it was not the popular decision for my party," Cao, a
first-term representative from Louisiana's traditionally Democratic 2nd
District, told CNN.
"A lot of my constituents are uninsured, a lot of them are poor," Cao
said. "It was the right decision for the people of my district."
The first Vietnamese-American to serve in the House, Cao defeated
nine-term Democratic incumbent William Jefferson in last year's
election. Jefferson was under indictment on money laundering and bribery
charges at the time, and has since been convicted.
Cao, a devout Catholic, said Sunday that an amendment to strengthen
anti-abortion language in the House bill cleared the way for his support.
"When that was worked out � I called the White House and said I could
possibly support the bill," said Cao, adding he discussed getting
continued help for his district as it seeks to fully recover from the
impact of Hurricane Katrina.
Asked about the reaction of fellow Republicans to his vote, Cao said the
party's leaders "respect my decision, and I respect theirs."
"To tell you the truth, neither one of us really knows what is the right
decision," he said of the complex health care bill, citing differing
reports and differing studies on its impact. "Ultimately, we have to
make that leap of faith."
The bill's approval by the House late Saturday night marked a major step
for Obama's top domestic priority. If the Senate now passes its own
version, the two bills would be merged, and the final version would
require approval from each chamber before being sent to the president
for his signature.

The Affordable Health Care for America Act, or H.R. 3962, restricts
insurance companies from denying coverage to anyone with a pre-existing
condition or charging higher premiums based on gender or medical history. It
also provides federal subsidies to those who cannot afford it and guarantees
coverage for 96 percent of Americans, according to the nonpartisan
Congressional Budget Office.

just my 2 cents,
n.t.
not many people has a complete understanding of the proposed health care
reform. but in general:
http://edlabor.house.gov/documents/111/pdf/publications/AHCAA-REFORMMEANSFORYOU-102909.pdf
current health care system
1. you can be denied coverage
2. your insurers can cap your coverage or drop you if you get into a
major health problem.
3. if they don't cap or drop you, they can increase your premium to the
point of driving many people to bankruptcy.
4. monopoly by private insurers create huge profits for big corporations
at the expenses of poor and sick people.
proposed reformed health care system
1. everyone is covered. employers are expected to pay up to 76% (or
something like that) of your policy. if your income level is below a
certain point or if you are unemployed, you get subsidized.
2. coverage can�t be capped or dropped when you get sick
3. public insurance option run by government allows affordable coverage
and lower medical costs.
4. more competition to the private insurers and more choices for the people.
- insurance corporations are against reform because it will prevent them
from making big profits.
- some ordinary republicans are against it because they oppose the
public option, saying that it is socialist.
- some oppose it since they it it will make them to pay more for health
insurance.
- some other low-life republicans are against it simply just because
they are stupid.

Both the House and Senate bills require Americans to get insurance,
add new restrictions on insurers and encourage greater use of
preventive medicine, electronic records and research on the
effectiveness of treatments.
Medicaid Expansion
Many of the House provisions take effect in 2010. The elderly would
face no co-payments for preventive care and get help paying for drugs.
The uninsured would get temporary aid until new purchasing exchanges
are created, and young adults could stay on their parents’ plans until
they turn 27.

House leaders also included an expansion of the government Medicaid
program for the poor, which may cost the federal government less than
providing subsidies to help people buy insurance. The plan would
expand eligibility to people whose incomes are 150 percent of the
official poverty level.
- Ngu+o+`i nghe`o (Income 1.5 cu?a poor level) se~ ddu+o+.c xin

To finance their bill, House Democrats opted for a surtax on couples
who make more than $1 million a year. They would also impose a 2.5
percent excise tax on medical devices that the congressional Joint
Committee on Taxation estimates would raise $20 billion over 10
years.

Employer Mandate
The House bill also requires that employers offer insurance or pay a
penalty, with exemptions for businesses with payrolls of less than
$500,000. That is a subject of debate in the Senate, where the
chamber’s health committee included a mandate and the finance panel
rejected it.
The bill would make large businesses that self-insure their employees
pay $2 billion in fees over the next decade. And it adopts a Senate
proposal to set a $2,500 limit beginning in 2011 on contributions to
tax-advantaged Flexible Spending Accounts used to pay out-of-pocket
medical costs.

House Passes Healthcare Reform
By Emily P. Walker, Washington Correspondent, MedPage Today
Published: November 07, 2009
WASHINGTON -- The House of Representatives voted 220 to 215 to pass
historic healthcare reform legislation late Saturday night, after 11
hours of debate before a packed gallery of spectators.
H.R. 3962 passed by a narrow margin: Democrats needed 218 votes to
pass the bill and wound up with just two more than that, after 39
Democrats jumped ship and voted "Nay." Only one Republican -- Anh
"Joseph" Cao from Louisiana voted for the measure.
Once the vote count hit 218, Democrats cheered loudly. Applause
continued as the final votes trickled in during the few minutes that
remained of the 15 allotted for the vote. When the clock ran down, the
chamber erupted in elated applause, the hugging, kissing, and cheering
abating only for the few minutes it took for Speaker of the House
Nancy Pelosi to declare "The bill is passed!"
The $1.1 trillion bill would expand insurance coverage to an
additional 38 million people over the next decade by requiring that
almost all citizens have insurance and providing subsidies to those
who can't afford it. The measure also contains a public option that
would allow doctors and hospitals to negotiate with the government
over reimbursement rates for treating patients enrolled in the public
plan.
The unusual Saturday session was characterized by hours of
theatrically partisan debate, and crowds of spectators waited hours in
line to get five-minute glimpses of the floor proceedings.
Democrats called attention to the historic nature of the vote.
"Leaders of every party and political philosophy as far back as Teddy
Roosevelt have called for healthcare for the American people," Pelosi
said. "Today the call will be answered."
Republicans repeatedly called the measure a "freedom-killing, job-
killing bill" that would bankrupt the government for future
generations and criminalize people who do not have insurance. Speakers
used a number of props -- including a baby and a pair of handcuffs --
to drive home their points.
The final vote came just minutes after approval of a controversial
abortion amendment. Sponsored by anti-abortion Democrat Bart Stupak of
Michigan and Brad Ellsworth (R-Ind.), the amendment would bar the
government from offering abortion in its public plan, and make it
illegal for private insurers that participate in the exchange from
providing abortion coverage, except in the case of rape, incest or
when the woman's health is in danger.
The amendment passed by a vote of 240 to 194, with support from 64
Democrats and all but one Republican -- John Shadegg of Arizona, who
cast a vote of "present."
A 1977 law, known as the Hyde Amendment, already prevents use of
federal money to fund abortions. Stupak said his amendment simply
applied the Hyde amendment to H.R. 3962, but opponents said it would
go much further. Not only would it mean the new public plan can't pay
for abortions, opponents charged, but none of the private insurance
plans that participate in the exchange could provide abortions either
because government money would pay for the creation of the exchange.
Low- and moderate-income women who receive government subsidies to
purchase health insurance would not have coverage for elective
abortions because they would be required to purchase insurance from
the exchange.
"The amendment has no impact on individuals with a private plan who do
not receive a subsidy," Stupak explained.
Women in the public plan, or who have a plan through the exchange,
could choose to buy a separate abortion-coverage plan using their own
money, which Rep. Jan Schakowsky of Illinois called "a ridiculous and
unworkable approach since no woman plans an unplanned pregnancy."
There was language in H.R. 3962 -- authored by Rep. Lois Capps (D-
Calif.), a nurse -- that specified that if plans in the exchange
wanted to provide abortion coverage, it would have to be funded
through premiums paid by the individual, not government money. That
language was an effort to placate anti-abortion members of Congress,
but they said it didn't go far enough.
Capps spoke out against the Stupak/Pitts amendment.
"It will be the only language in the entire legislation that restricts
coverage of a legal medical procedure," she said.
Stupak maintained that his amendment is just cementing current law.
"I am not writing a new federal abortion policy," he said.
Abortion rights groups like NARAL and Planned Parenthood blasted the
amendment, while the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
(USCCB) praised it.
The amendment would have to be approved in the Senate, and then
survive conference before it becomes law.
The final version of the House bill lacked a doctor payment fix, but a
separate bill that would replace the sustainable growth rate (SGR)
formula is expected to come to a vote next week.
The bill passed by the House on Saturday would require businesses with
payrolls above $500,000 to offer health insurance to their employees.
