Here’s his statement, just in case you didn’t already know how it would read. "We have been led to believe that we must...  

Dennis Kucinich is apparently voting against the health care bill in the House. Why? His stated reason is that because it isn’t single payer. If that’s the reasoning, that is ridiculous.
