Was the only Republician who voted YES on the HC bill.The House of Representatives passed H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act, late Saturday night by a vote of 220-215.
Whether the bill will become law remains uncertain, however.
The Senate will first vote on its own version of a health care bill. If that passes, the two bills will have to be reconciled into one legislative document and voted on again by the House and the Senate, and then President Obama would sign it.
In the end, 219 Democrats voted for the health care reform bill, and 39 voted against it.
Rep. Joe Cao (R-Louisiana), who was elected in December into a Democratic New Orleans district, was the only Republican who voted in favor of the bill.
In a statement on his Web site, Cao said,
Tonight, I voted to keep taxpayer dollars from funding abortion and to deliver access to affordable health care to the people of Louisiana.”

Re: Representative Joseph Cao (R - LA). VOTED...... YES... in the House the Only Rep.
Cat-eating Cao waited until the Dems clinched with 218 then cast his Yeah vote.
His district is 75% Obama anyway.. he got his seat because the incumbent is in jail.

This shouldn't be this surprising, he thinks something should be done to help prevent global warming. Cao was one of just 5 Republicans to vote for the Obama administration's $106 billion 2009 supplemental appropriation (House Resolution 2346) for military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq

CONGRATULATIONS to Obama and for his health care reform bill! :)
There are some people here on Godlike Productions who keep themselves not well informed enough, and are not even interested either to be well informed what the meaning of this health care is all about - and for the benefit of their own people, and i pity them for that (and at the same time there are always mental unstable people and Obama haters among these voices too, always...).
Im living in a country where we have had health care reform bill long before i was born and it works fine.
But there will always be people out here who dont want their neighbours to have the same opportunity like they have.

Because they think they'll be getting shit for free. If only they knew that "socialism" is a new form of slavery. The same fuckwits wield the whips except they are government employees now and can fast-track any fucking law they please to suit them.
this should be Emailed to every scumbag who voted yes for the HC BILL.

Joseph Cao (R - LA) is a fuck hole. I live in Louisiana and he has been on a conservative platform the whole time. All of the sudden, with no warning or build up, the little fucker votes for the bill. I wish I had some of his local commercials recorded to post here, you guy's would trip if you heard him campaign. Even Walton and Johnson spoke highly of him, so you know how he portrays himself, but he switched. The fucken Itsy bitsy ninja strikes back. He planted one Louisiana.
This thread is a howling wasteland of stupid. You focus one one representative out of 215. LOL as if the letters in front of their name means anything.

He's representing the people of his district. He'll most likely swap parties if he can next election.
Good riddance and may the tides turn swiftly against him.

Sigh, not likely. I used to live in NOLA, he did exactly what the citizens in that area wanted. He's a shoe-in for re-election, even if he get's caught raping a goat.
EDIT: Hmm, unless he's tied in with ACORN, that might finish him...
For all non-Americans here, as a non-American i say this. Stay out of the discussions regarding health care in the United States, unless you intend to live there it is none of our business unless they ask for our opinion.
The new congressman has been courted by Democrats since voicing his state of undecision on the health care vote. He is a Republican representing a mostly Democratic district. He won his race courtesy of Democrat, William Jefferson, who was indicted for the $10,000 cash FBI agents found in his freezer and other charges of federal corruption.
Nevertheless, the people in Louisiana's 2nd district had a difficult time choosing their representative. Cao won by only 3 percent. He is the first Republican to SERVE THE DISTRICT SINCE 1890, and obviously wants to keep his job.
Cao (pronounced 'gow') was a lawyer in New Orleans before moving to "the people's house." Rep. Cao was born in Vietnam and came to the U.S. when he was 8 years old. He is a Roman Catholic, married and has two daughters. He is the first native of Vietnam and the first Vietnamese American to serve in Congress.
A footnote to Joseph Cao's vote in support of Pelosi's health care: The Stupak Amendment passed shortly before the vote on HR 3962. This amendment supposedly prevents insurance companies from covering abortions, and strengthens language denying federal funds for abortions. The passage of the amendment was problematic on both sides. Once it passed, pro-life Democrats no longer had a convenient excuse for voting against the bill. It left them to choose Nancy Pelosi or constitutients back home. Republicans wanted to vote for the amendment, of course, but in doing so, it enabled PelosiCare to pass. One Republican, Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ) voted 'present.'
For all non-Americans here, as a non-American i say this. Stay out of the discussions regarding health care in the United States, unless you intend to live there it is none of our business unless they ask for our opinion.
