Washington (CNN) -- As House Democratic leaders advised their members Friday to prepare for a legislative battle over health care that could stretch through next weekend, four additional rank-and-file Democrats have come out against the Obama administration's signature domestic priority.

Reps. Ben Chandler of Kentucky, Luiz Gutierrez of Illinois, Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin of South Dakota and Heath Shuler of North Carolina say they will vote against their party's health care plan, which may be headed to a final vote late next week.

1. Okay! Let's wait 5 minutes and things will change. Then

all the Dems and Reps will decide to have a collective duel and fight it out physically. They may as well--they have been playing games with us for over a year.

4. May want to note that 3 of 4 voted against the House Bill.

Also, Rep. Gutierrez (the only one who did vote for the House version) is voting against it because it wont cover undocumented immigrants - not the reason one might have expected.
:think:

"At this time, I am a 'no' vote on health care," said Gutierrez in a written statement. "It's no secret that I have been critical of proposals that would exclude our nation's hardworking immigrants from the health care exchange, and I would find it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to vote for any measure that denies undocumented workers health care purchased with their own dollars."

5. One of those votes was an Aye 3 were Nays on the original bill

Not sure what the count total is. Right now, but I think they are at about 212.
