In case any of you, like me tried to spend as much time outdoors enjoying the warm weather this weekend as possible, here's a healthcare "reform" update . . . Speaker Nancy Pelosi's version passed the U.S. House of Representatives yesterday on a mostly party-line vote, 220-215. (Link to story here.) That's the bad news. The good news is that before passage, Bart Stupak (D-Michigan) forced a vote on his amendment to include a prohibition on federal funding of abortion and, thankfully, the amendment passed. (Link to Stupak's press release here.)
A few observations . . .
The fight is not over, it is on to the Senate, where the battle was headed all along.
Anh Cao (RINO-Louisiana) should be ashamed of himself.
Passage of the Stupak Amendment, unfortunately, brings socialized medicine closer to reality.
And, a swing of three votes (JUST THREE!!) could have stopped this fiasco in its tracks. For those of you who don't think 2010 matters - think again.
