McIntyre Only N.C. Democrat to Vote for Health Care Law Repeal
GOP-led U.S. House approves ObamaCare repeal 245-189
RALEIGH (By David N. Bass, Carolina Journal Online) — U.S. Rep. Mike McIntyre was the only Democrat in North Carolina’s congressional delegation to side with Republicans in voting Jan. 19 to overturn President Barack Obama’s health care reform bill.
In the initial vote for the reform package in March, three of the Tar Heel State’s self-described centrist Democrats opposed it — McIntyre of the 7th district, Larry Kissell of the 8th district, and Heath Shuler of the 11th district. But McIntyre was the lone outlier in voting for a Republican-initiated effort to scrap the law and start over from scratch. He was one of only three Democrats backing repeal.
In a largely party-line decision, the House voted 245-189 to pass H.R. 2. North Carolina’s six Republican representatives, including freshman lawmaker Renee Ellmers of the 2nd Congressional District, backed the bill.
