How did they vote on health care reform?

The Washington Post has created a chart demonstrating how House representatives voted on the Senate health care reform bill.

"The 219-212 vote was followed by another on a package of reconciliation fixes, which passed 220-211," The Post says. "Three Democrats switched their votes between the Senate bill and the reconciliation 'fixes.' Reps. Dan Lipinski (D-Ill.) and Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) voted against the Senate bill but for the reconciliation bill. Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.) voted for the Senate bill but against the reconciliation bill."

The Post's chart breaks down representatives' voting information into seven sortable columns: final vote; Nov. 7 vote; name; party; state; campaign contributions from the health industry; and percent uninsured in his or her district.

And, in case you forgot about that little executive power thing President Barack Obama said he'd NEVER use ...
