Brian Schwarz and Thomas Lifson

The House just adopted a rule to govern the discussion and voting to follow, making the 216 votes they needed. According to Carl Cameron of Fox News, when the magic number was reached, a number of Congressmen voted "no", as if they would have voted "yes" had their votes been needed, but were given permission to vote with their districts once the majority was secured for the Democrats.
