Rep. Tim Holden (D-PA) told a local newspaper yesterday that he plans to vote against the Senate health care reform bill if it comes to the House for a vote.

“I will not vote for the Senate bill,” Holden told the Republican Herald. “It makes significant cuts to Medicare and Medicaid … and the restrictions on (federal funding for) abortion are not as strong.”

Holden voted against the House health care bill last year over concerns about Medicare cuts and health care for illegal immigrants.

Holden’s office did not immediately return requests for comment.
