Boyd’s ‘no’ vote on reconciliation

Published March 16, 2010 4:00am ET



Rep. Allen Boyd, D-Fla., was one of two Democrats who voted against the reconciliation bill designed to become the “sidecar” for ObamaCare in yesterday’s House Budget Committee hearing. He is one of the Democrats who voted “no” last time but is believed to be on the fence this time.

But his “no” vote yesterday was not based on opposition to health care, per se. It was based on opposition to the inclusion of the federal student loan takeover.
