Opponents and supporters of the health care reform bill are trying to sway Congressman Scott Murphy's vote. A House vote on the senate's version of the bill could happen this weekend. And while Murphy wasn't in town to hear the protest held outside of his Clifton Park office Wednesday afternoon, people we spoke with say that doesn't matter. Our Erin Vannella was there and has the story.

"I'm supporting health care because there are so many people right now who can't wait any longer," said Sherry Schimerhorn of Clifton Park. "They're losing their homes, they have cancer and they can't pay their bills. We need reform right now."

"If this was a good bill, would they have to bribe people to vote for it?" asked Pat Carlton of Malta.

"It is time to have some form of universal health insurance for all Americans, children, men, women, all of us," said Al Ormsby of Saratoga Springs.

"Murphy has said that he's concerned about the cost of it," said Carl Srpingel of Rexford. "We don't know what the cost is."

Congressman Murphy is the reason ralliers gathered Wednesday. He voted no on the bill last November. And supporters say they want him to change his mind to create a healthier America.

"The preexisting conditions I think is a huge piece," said Schimerhorn. "There are so many people who are in a bad situation right now and can't wait. Also there are so many people who are uncovered by insurance who need insurance but can't afford it so this is for those people."

But opponents worry this bill isn't the answer.

"It's not a good bill because it takes away our freedom," said Carlton. "It's not a good bill because it will bankrupt the country."

"It doesn't make sense," said Springel. "We're gonna be in debt. Our children are gonna be in debt and we can't afford it."

But some on both sides said they do see promise in the bill, it just needs more work.

"Republicans have put out some good ideas and I'm sure the democrats have some good ideas that you can meld together but they gotta start fresh," said Springel.

"It's not a question of is the bill perfect," said Ormsby. "You gotta compare it to the current system and the current system needs a new direction."

President Obama postponed his trip to Asia earlier this week to be here for the vote. The bill needs 216 votes to pass.
