Medical Innovation Bill Passed the House With 344 Votes; Now It’s On Life Support-nationaljournal:Fred Up­ton al­most made passing his med­ic­al-in­nov­a­tion bill through the House look easy. After more than a year of work, the bill soared through Up­ton’s En­ergy and Com­merce Com­mit­tee with a 51-0 vote. It then moved to the House floor, where a last-minute hic­cup over fund­ing cost it 70 votes from Up­ton’s fel­low Re­pub­lic­ans, but it ul­ti­mately over­whelm­ingly passed with 344 votes.
