Summary

Rep. Betsy Markey voted against a health-care reform bill backed by President Barack Obama and the House Democratic leadership Saturday night, citing concerns over the cost of the bill.

"It was a difficult decision because there's a lot of good things in the bill, as well, that I like, but in the end, I just didn't think that it did enough to control health-care costs," the Fort Collins Democrat said in an interview with the Coloradoan, calling it the most difficult vote she's cast in her 10 months in Congress.
