Andrews seemed to take the election result in Massachusetts as a statement on the healthcare bill, but it does seem like there were additional factors at play including the fact they already have healthcare in Massachusetts.

The Congressman said he thought there were going to be changes in the bill. He specifically called out "the Nebraska provision" saying it should go and he can't support a bill that includes it. He also called out the "Louisiana purchase" as something else that should come out of the bill.

He also talked about the poor job that has been done in explaining what is actually in the bill. He says if they do a better job of explaining, they can find that consensus point, but you have to wonder how all of a sudden they will turn things around and better explain the benefits of the bill.
