DescriptionRep. Joseph Cao (R-La.) is a "firm 'no'" on Democrats' healthcare bill, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) stressed Friday.

Cantor, the GOP's chief vote-counter in the House, said that the first-term Louisiana Republican would oppose healthcare legislation after having voted with Democrats last fall, the only Republican lawmaker to do so.

"Yes, I have spoken to Joseph Cao as recently as an hour and a half ago," Cantor said in response to a question on whether Cao would oppose the bill.

"He is a firm 'no' against this bill," Cantor added.
