The following came from the AP story sent out on the wire this morning: The measure would also usher in a significant expansion of Medicaid, the federal-state health care program for the poor. The insurance industry, which spent millions on advertising trying to block the bill, would come under new federal regulation. Parents would be [...]
Bart Stupak, in an interview with National Review, said that some Democrats believe that abortions will save taxpayers money: “If you pass the Stupak amendment, more children will be born, and therefore it will cost us millions more. That’s one of the arguments I’ve been hearing,” Stupak says. “Money is their hang-up. Is this how [...]
Merry Christmas. Oh, and for good measure, the Senate, like the House, has raised our debt ceiling to $12.4 trillion in an effort to keep the government in business. Please, please does this make sense to anyone? Because if increasing debt while already in serious debt makes sense to you maybe you can explain it [...]
Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) today stated his unwavering resolve on the Stupak Amendment in the health care legislation. Please let your representative know that you support the Stupak Amendment in the final version of the bill. Your call or e-mail is helpful to members when they speak with other members who may be on the [...]
‘Sex and the City’ actress Cynthia Nixon was on CNN commenting about health care and the need for abortion coverage. Sister Toldjah does a wonderful job of covering the interview and what Nixon had to say. h/t Sister Toldjah
Yep, you read that correctly–CATO adjusts the 1 trillion figure to reflect the real costs– despite all of the accounting gimmicks by the Dems. Maybe I’m jaded, but I read the $6 trillion figure and thought, “Not surprised.” Really, how on earth are we to pay for nearly everyone in the U.S. to have health [...]
David Broder, the dean of the Washington Press Corps, writing for tomorrow’s Post about the budget-busting health care reform legislation.
Well, the House managed to pass the health care legislation yesterday but Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) admirably put a kink in the abortion coverage section (Hoorah Congressman Stupak!!) by getting his amendment passed that prevents abortion coverage from being automatically included. His amendment is consistent with current federal law. I don’t think we can thank him [...]
The National Right to Life Committee has issued the following press release: WASHINGTON (October 26, 2009) — This is an urgent congressional alert from the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) in Washington, D.C. Please act on this alert immediately. Please forward this e-mail to all pro-life lists (e.g., lists of pro-life groups, pro-life church [...]
Max Baucus released an outline of his legislation that runs on for about 18 pages. Even though thorough, the description of the legislation leaves a lot to be desired. More tomorrow… h/t Sister Toldjah
I think Rep. Wilson could have picked a more appropriate place to make his feelings known last night but I don’t believe he was wrong about the coverage of illegal aliens just as I don’t think Obama was truthful about abortion coverage. Why? Because Barack Obama said so in his speech before Planned Parenthood in 2007. He [...]
Well no one said that it would exclusively be federal money paying for abortion on demand. No, never that. No, our government would just require coverage of abortion on demand in any health care insurance or health care plans. Read the president’s speech to see what he said and then read the FactCheck.org evaluation of the bill and [...]
