John Barrow changes vote on Obama health care law
ATLANTA -- U.S. Rep. John Barrow changed his vote on President Barack Obama's health care overhaul law, this time supporting the controversial measure.
Barrow, a Democrat from Georgia, voted against the bill last year when it passed Congress. He said this week that he would not join many of his fellow Republicans to overtu the law because he believed part of it were worth keeping.
The other Congressional members from Georgia maintained their stance on the law. The House voted 245-189 - largely along party lines - to repeal the law. The measure has little chance of advancing in the Senate.
