Tanner and Davis to vote NO on Healthcare....

 Lincoln Davis is a true pro life Dem. however, Tanner is reported to vote no to give cover to Herron who is running as a Dem. for his seat as Tanner is retiring. Herron will try to run as a pro life Dem. which he most certainly is NOT. This must mean that they don't need Tanner who would have given in if need be. This is a sad day for our country and our state.


US Rep. Tanner won't support heath reform bill

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee Democratic Rep. John Tanner says he decided against supporting President Barack Obama's health care overhaul bill over the expected cost.

Tanner said in a statement Sunday that he doesn't think the bill adequately addresses the "long-term trend of rising health care costs."

The measure seeks to extend coverage to 32 million uninsured people and the Congressional Budget Office estimates the proposal would cost $940 billion over 10 years.

Fellow Democratic Rep. Lincoln Davis has not said how he will vote on the latest version of the bill after voting against the previous measure.

Last week, fellow Democratic Rep. Bart Gordon said he had changed his mind would support the bill.
