Rep. Michael Arcuri (D-NY), a swing-district Democrat who previously voted for the House health care bill, will now vote against the current bill, the Hotline reports.
Arcuri has previously indicated that he was leaning against the bill, saying two weeks ago about the Senate version: “There would have to be some dramatic changes in it for me to change my position.”
House Democrats will need every vote they can, of course, in order to get to the 216 threshold. And Arcuri is now one name subtracted from their column.
