738 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Health Care. 406 of them counted toward the score above: 309 toward “Expand coverage” and 97 toward “Restrict coverage”.

The other 332 did not count: 314 were roll calls whose direction on this issue could not be read confidently — mostly procedural motions — and 18 were ones they did not cast a yea or nay on. They are listed below anyway, marked as not scored, because a filtered list of votes is not a voting record.
