Kucinich

So Dennis Kucinich (Ohio Representative who has run for president) voted against the health care reform bill. Does anyone know why? I thought that he was for health care reform, so I'm wondering what stipulation it was that put him into the "no" pile.

I concur. Dennis would be for a single payer system. A public option wouldn't go far enough.

Also, Dennis is a Representative, not a Senator. And I'm pedantic.
