Fifteen Dems oppose taking up health bill

Fifteen Democrats joined a unanimous Republican caucus in voting against a procedural measure to begin debate on healthcare reform.

Most of the Democrats who voted "no"--listed below--are Blue Dogs who reperesent centrist or conservative districts.

But Democrats did manage to scrap together 242 votes in favor of taking up the legislation, meaning that at least some Democrats who have announced their opposition to the bill itself still voted in favor of considering it.

Here are the Democrats who voted against proceeding with debate:

Rep. Jason Altmire (D-Pa.)
Rep. Brian Baird (D-Wash.)
Rep. Dan Boren (D-Okla.)
Rep. Bobby Bright (D-Ala.)
Rep. Travis Childers (D-Miss.)
Rep. Artur Davis (D-Ala.)
Rep. Parker Griffith (D-Ala.)
Rep. Frank Kratovil (D-Md.)
Rep. Jim Marshall (D-Ga.)
Rep. Charlie Melancon (D-La.)
Rep. Walt Minnick (D-Idaho)
Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-Calif.)
Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.)
Rep. Ike Skelton (D-Mo.)
Rep. Gene Taylor (D-Miss.)
