US House of Representatives: Pennsylvania (Democrat)
He was one of the only House Democrats to vote against the bill. He believes that we need more common sense reform that will lower cost for everyone while preserving what works in our current system.
"I voted against the House's health care reform bill in the Education and Labor Committee because it failed to effectively reign in rising health care costs; it was punitive toward small businesses; and it paid for reform by raising taxes, rather than by squeezing the inefficiencies out of and modernizing our health care system."
Altmire's opponent in the upcoming election will be former US Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan most early predictions are that he is as close to a lock as the Democrats have this November. He is a conservative to moderate democrat who should have no problem winning reelection.
