More. Per the blog of Republican whip Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), read 69 Dem representatives' own words on their problems with the Pelosi bill. Illinois:
Rep. Jerry Costello (D-IL): Bill Language Is Not Sufficient To Prevent Federal Funding For Abortion. “While some assert that language contained in variations of H.R. 3200, America’s Affordable Health Choices Act, is sufficient to preclude federal funds being used for abortion, we do not agree.” (Rep. Jerry Costello, Letter To Speaker Pelosi, Link, 9/29/09)

Rep. Debbie Halvorson (D-IL): “We Will Be Unable To Support Any Health Care Legislation That Doesn’t Meet The President’s Goal Of Driving Down And Holding Down Cost Of Health Care As Determined By The CBO.” “Sustainability requires that the burden on the American taxpayer and the federal budget be limited. To that end, we will be unable to support any health care legislation that doesn’t meet the President’s goal of driving down and holding down the cost of health care, as determined by the CBO.” (Rep. Debbie Halvorson, Letter To Speaker Pelosi And Leader Hoyer, Link, 10/14/09)

Rep. Daniel Lipinski (D-IL): “We Will Be Unable To Support Any Health Care Legislation That Doesn’t Meet The President’s Goal Of Driving Down And Holding Down Cost Of Health Care As Determined By The CBO.” “Sustainability requires that the burden on the American taxpayer and the federal budget be limited. To that end, we will be unable to support any health care legislation that doesn’t meet the President’s goal of driving down and holding down the cost of health care, as determined by the CBO.” (Rep. Daniel Lipinski, Letter To Speaker Pelosi And Leader Hoyer, Link, 10/14/09)
