Gordon (D) to vote yes

Retiring Rep. Bart Gordon (D-Tenn.) announced today that he'll support the revised healthcare bill.

Gordon voted no on the first House bill.

"I have consistently said I would not support any version of health care reform unless it brings down rising health care costs, improves access to affordable care, and does it all without adding one nickel to the national deficit," Gordon said in a statement.

"I've now been presented with a bill that does all three; in fact, this proposal reduces the deficit by $130 billion over the next 10 years and $1.2 trillion in the 10 years after that. Finding solutions to the problems we face has been challenging, but we simply cannot sustain the status quo any longer," he added.
