The Washington Post has a list of the votes on the House Republican Bill which would have delayed the individual mandate by a year. This is the bill that was voted on this evening (Monday evening). Imagine my surprise to see that Michele Bachmann (R. Minnesota) joined the Democrats in voting against the bill. She was joined by
Reps. Tom Massie (Ky.), Peter King (N.Y.), Steve King (Iowa), Mike Rogers (Ala.), Paul Broun (Ga.), Phil Gingrey (Ga.), Joe Barton (Texas), Louie Gohmert (Texas), Kay Granger (Texas), Charlie Dent (Pa.), Rick Crawford (Ark.)

When you see Michele Bachmann joining the Democrats, it is a sign of just how extreme the current House Republicans are.
Unfortunately, the gain of these Republican votes came with the loss of 9 Democratic votes. These were:
Reps. Mike McIntyre (N.C.), Dan Maffei (N.Y.), Sean Maloney (N.Y.), Jim Matheson (Utah), Steven Horsford (Nev.), Ron Barber (Ariz.), John Barrow (Ga.), Raul Ruiz (Calif.) and Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.).

If you live in the Districts of these Democrats, you may want to call or e-mail them to tell them that you will not be voting for them in the next election unless they start voting with the Democrats on these matters.
