Democrats picked up two more votes in favor of their health-care package Friday, as Ohio Rep. John Boccieri (D) announced that he would support the final measure after having opposed the original House bill in November. Fellow Ohio Democrat Charles Wilson, who had been publicly undecided, also issued a news release saying he would vote "yes."

"I will be voting yes for the bill," Boccieri said at a news conference outside the Capitol, flanked by constituents from his northeast Ohio district.

Boccieri said Thursday's release of a preliminary score from the Congressional Budget Office -- particularly its estimate that the health bill will cut the deficit by more than $138 billion in the next 10 years -- helped to change his mind. "I was very encouraged by the budget results we got," Boccieri said.

Boccieri said he was also inspired by the story of Natoma Canfield -- the leukemia patient from Ohio whose plight was highlighted recently by President Obama. He said it reminded him of his own mother's battle with breast cancer.
