Yep, two votes. That was the net margin of the final vote: 220-215. Remember, you need 218 votes to pass. Without the two "Yea" votes of Owens and Garamendi, the lone Republican vote from Joseph Cao likely doesn't happen. This bill would not have passed without the votes of Bill Owens and John Garamendi, the two newest members of Congress. Without them, the "Yeas" drop to 217. Defeat.

(end snip)

Seems to me to be an inkling of a public option mandate out there, congress critters. So, go ahead and hide behind the skirts of the insurance companies. We can see you.
