"this is not the bill i wanted to support."

rep. dennis kucinich (d-ohio) announces his decision to vote in favor of president obama's health care reform bill, despite the fact that it does not contain everything he wanted, including a strong public option.

"I know I have to make a decision, not on the bill as i would like to see it, but as it is. My criticism of the legislation has been well reported. I do not retract those criticisms, I incorporate them into this statement. They stand as legitimate and cautionary."
