Roll Call Votes

On January 25th, the House of Representatives voted for a resolution that will likely lead to major cuts in children’s programs. The House voted to reduce federal spending to 2008 levels. Spending on Pentagon programs would be left alone. Education, health, nutrition, and child welfare services — all of which are vital to children and families — would sustain huge reductions. As a result millions of children could lose their health coverage and their favorite teachers would be at risk of being arbitrarily fired.

The following is a table of how each member of the House of Representatives voted on repeal of health care reform. Vote Kids opposes this because repeal will harm children, and the House majority has no plan what they will do to guarantee access to quality care for every child. All 242 Republicans voted for repeal. 189 Democrats voted against repeal. 3 Democrats – Dan Boren of Oklahoma, Mike McIntyre of North Carolina, and Mike Ross of Arkansas – voted for repeal. Arizona Representative Gabrielle Giffords was not able to vote as she is recovering from a gunshot to the head.
