A surprising Democrat has come out against the health care bill. Here is his statement explaining his reasons:

Congressman Lynch does not support the Senate version of healthcare reform because it has stripped most of the serious reform from the House version of the bill and rewards insurance companies instead.

If there were a straight up or down vote on the Senate bill as it is currently written, Congressman Lynch would vote no. Furthermore, Mr. Lynch opposes using any procedural maneuvering to approve the bill without requiring members to actually vote on it, such as the so-called ‘deem and pass’ option.   He would prefer a straight-forward up or down vote on a bill of this magnitude.

That last paragraph strikes me as very principled reasons for opposing the chosen path for passing this bill, which of course runs against his party's leadership.

Especially as the Democrat leadership has indeed chosen "deem and pass" as the way to finalize their health care push:

In a 222-203 vote, Democrats beat back a GOP resolution offered by Democrat-turned-Republican Rep. Parker Griffith (Ala.) that would have forced lawmakers to vote on the Senate healthcare bill separately from the series of fixes they hope to make to that legislation. All Republican lawmakers who voted opposed the measure, which had the effect of ending the GOP's effort to force a vote. They were joined by 28 Democrats, who broke with party members on the vote.
