Many thought the Healthcare Reform Bill was dead but once again grassroots campaigning put it back on the agenda. However, this still does not ensure its passage as CNN's recent poll indicates. 100 Representatives were asked how they would vote on the bill and so far the bill would pass. However, this is assuming that the undecided members voted yes. Plus, 29 are yet to respond. Therefore, most of the undecided members would have to cast their vote in favor of the bill. Only 38 Democratic no votes are needed to kill the bill and 27 of these are already in place so only 11 more are needed. This number is very likely to come up and I think that the bill will once again fail without major changes.
