By Laura Bischoff | Tuesday, November 10, 2009, 12:26 PM

Ohio’s 18 members in the U.S. House of Representatives split almost evenly on the vote Saturday, Nov. 7 on the controversial health care bill. The bill represents the most significant expansion of government run health care since Medicare was created in 1965.

The 1,990-page bill passed largely along party lines with a 220-215 vote.

Ohio Congress members voting in favor included: Steve Driehaus, D-Cincinnati, Marcia Fudge, D-Cleveland, Marcy Kaptur, D-Toledo, Mary Jo Kilroy, D-Columbus, Tim Ryan, D-Niles, Zack Space, D-Dover, Betty Sutton, D-Chardon, and Charlie Wilson, D-St. Clairsville.

Those opposed were: Steve Austria, R-Beavercreek, John Bocceri, D-Alliance, John Boehner, R-West Chester, Jim Jordan, R-Urbana, Dennis Kucinich, D-Cleveland, Steve LaTourette, R-Bainbridge, Robert Latta, R-Bowling Green, Jean Schmidt, R-Cincinnati, Pat Tiberi, R-Columbus, and Mike Turner, R-Centerville.
