Rep. Jason Altmire (D-Pa.), a Blue Dog who voted against the House’s healthcare bill in November, said that he and many other centrist Democrats would flip their votes to support the Senate bill if it came up for a vote in the House.

“I think the Senate bill is stronger and I think there’s a chance that when the Senate bill comes over to the House, if we can keep some of those provisions for cost containment in the bill, bringing down the deficit, and bringing down healthcare costs, there’s a good chance a lot of conservative Democrats who voted against it in the House will support the Senate bill as it comes out of conference,” Altmire said during an appearance Tuesday evening on the Fox Business Network.
