Responding to claims in a Democratic press release that a vote against the House measure amounts to obstruction of healthcare reform and could endanger his 2010 Senate bid, Castle said in a written statement that the delay in passing the bill is the result of a lack of support for it among Democrats, who are the majority party in Congress.
