"The U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed its version of a landmark health insurance reform bill Saturday night, 220-215, and opponents of the measure have received an average of 15 percent more from health industry and health insurance interests over the past 20 years, a Center for Responsive Politics analysis has found. All but one of the 177-member caucus of the Republican Party opposed the bill, as did 39 members of the Democratic Party. The Center for Responsive Politics found that these members of Congress received an average of $502,650 from health industry and health insurance companies and employees since 1989. The lone Republican vote in favor of the measure came from Rep. Joseph Cao (R-La.), who beat embattled Democrat incumbent William Jefferson in a special election last year. In August of this year, Jefferson was convicted on corruption charges. Cao is viewed as one of the most vulnerable Republican incumbents, representing a district carried by President Barack Obama during the 2008 election." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet
