N.C. Democrat says he'll vote against House health care bill, now to watch him and see if he is a man of his words. 
"During these tough economic times, I could not support this bill, because it was flawed in four major ways," McIntyre said. He identified the flaws:
* The bill "costs way too much – more than $1 trillion dollars on top of a $12 trillion national debt."
* It doesn't address long-term health costs.
* It raises too many taxes and includes new requirements "that will harm the ability of too many small businesses to compete and create jobs."
* "It tries to do too much too soon, instead of targeted changes that can immediately help people."
This does not mean I will support him in the long run, after all he still seems to think it needs to be done. But for now, he is at lest voting the way many of the people I have met (well, except for 2) feel. In that a government control health care system is wrong.
