Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D) of Ohio in November voted against the House version of the legislation, arguing it "incentivizes the perpetuation, indeed the strengthening, of the for-profit health insurance industry." Congressman Kucinich announced he would switch his vote on March 17 after talks with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Obama. Here, Kucinich conducts a news conference on March 17, announcing his support for healthcare reform in Washington. Newscom
Rep. Bart Stupak (D) of Michigan said he would vote no on the healthcare reform bill unless there was a stand-alone vote on banning public funding of abortion. After talks with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the White House, Congressman Stupak accepted a compromise: President Obama would sign an executive order on abortion funding. Here, Stupak announces his switch on Sunday in Washington. Alex Brandon/AP
Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D) of Illinois, a leading abortion rights advocate, said that she and some 50 other representatives would abandon support of the health care bill if anti-abortion language was strengthened.

Rep. Stephen Lynch (D) of Massachusetts voted against the bill because it taxed high-end insurance plans owned by some union members and because there was no limited public option. Congressman Lynch was not swayed by a letter from 20 Massachusetts labor leaders delivered Saturday asking him to reconsider. Here, Lynch speaks about health care reform in Boston in September 2009.

Reports say the suspects in yesterday's butchering of a British soldier have Nigerian ancestry. However, they appeared to be driven by UK involvement in other Muslim nations.
Anti-terrorist police are preparing to interview two hospitalized suspects arrested after a brutal attack on an off-duty soldier in southeast London who was butchered in the street with knives and a meat cleaver.
