The Fort Collins Coloradoan:

"I have very closely taken a look at the compromise version, I read the (Congressional Budget Office) budget analysis today and I have decided that I am going to support this bill and vote for the bill," the Fort Collins Democrat said.

Her home paper, The Denver Post, on the bill, last week:

We once were strong proponents of health care reform and had hoped to see a bill that included a public option to bring down costs.

This is a bad bill, and it's not worth Democrats jumping off this cliff.

Her constituents in CO-4 oppose the bill by about 56-33, according to Politico's Josh Kraushaar.
