| Description | WASHINGTON — Nearly to the end, Rep. Brian Baird stayed determinedly indecisive.
When the U.S. House takes a historic roll call Sunday on a health-care overhaul, the legislation's passage may be more predictable than the Vancouver Democrat's vote.
Baird became the only one of Washington's congressional Democrats to remain undecided on the health-care bill Saturday when fellow fence-sitter Adam Smith, of Tacoma, climbed into the "yea" column.
Baird stayed noncommittal even after Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Bainbridge Island, helped to broker a deal in the wee hours of Saturday that would boost Medicare reimbursement rates for hospitals in Washington and other states. |
