NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Congressman Anh "Joseph" Cao (Gow), the
only Republican to vote for a Democrat-backed health care overhaul
late last year, doesn't expect to do so again when the Senate
version comes up for a vote this weekend.
Cao says he's "pretty much a definite no."
Absent a late change of heart by Cao, the state's seven-member
House delegation is expected to unanimously oppose the Senate
version of the bill, which will likely be voted on in the House on
Sunday.
Cao, an attorney and staunch abortion opponent, said he has
studied the Senate language and it doesn't go far enough to
prohibit government funding of abortions.
