58 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Health Care. 22 of them counted toward the score above: 13 toward “Expand coverage” and 9 toward “Restrict coverage”.

The other 36 did not count: 36 were roll calls whose direction on this issue could not be read confidently — mostly procedural motions — and 0 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.
