A Colorado Democrat in Congress who voted against a health care overhaul last year has changed her mind and says she plans to vote for a revised plan when it comes to another vote.
Rep. Betsy Markey of Fort Collins is one of the few dozen House Democrats who have been intensely pressured on the health overhaul. Markey is a first-term moderate who bucked her party and voted against the health care overhaul that came before the House in November.
In a conference call with reporters Thursday, Markey said she will support the measure. Markey was the only House Democrat from Colorado to vote no last year; two Republicans also voted no.
The House is likely to vote on the health care overhaul Sunday.

Most Americans would actually like to see Obama on the next plane back to Africa! Instead we get to watch our tax dollars pay for abortions in Mexico. And if you think the sick and hurting are going to get better care with this bill, you are being misled. If you are not a healthy, highly contributing taxpayer, you will be a victim of political genocide. Sadly, many Americans don't think this will happen to them. This health bill will work just as perfectly as Social Security and Medicare, our other great government disasters.

Markey should be watched closely, any new positions, appointments, cash winfalls or other suspicious activity should be checked out immediately! As for the milkers like ATFR and Paul, get off of the teat of the taxpayers and WORK HARDER!

I don't know what polls you are reading, but all the ones I've seen show an overwhelming majority of Americans don't want this bill. Used by the insurance companies and other powers? Like how all the big Pharmaceutical companies are spending big bucks on a pro-Obamacare campaign. What does that tell you?
