It was good Congressional theatre, but the real test will be in the Senate.
A 20% Corporate Welfare Tax for the privilege of repealing Roe v. Wade.
Nothing at all is better than this.
Every progressive should vote against it and those that support it.
A deal breaker.
Every Sperm Is Sacred
massive stupid fail. increase costs, no cost controls, enriches the very industries that will need to be taken on if universal healthcare is ever to happen in this country. no po except in name only. women thrown under the bus. worse than the MA 2006 reform.
massive stupid fail by dems and supporters of obamacare.
Squinting real hard can give me a glimmer of hope that this might be a stepping stone to better things, but it looks a helluva lot more like a hardening of the existing, wasteful, perverse for-profit system. Gag me with a silver spoon.
Shame and Mockery.
Where were the Progressives? What happened to the signed letter saying they’d vote no? why could we have the Stupak amendment but not the Weiner Amendment?
Progressives are a waste of our time, they are to weak to implement change.
The Democratic party is COMPLETELY corrput, with the exception of maybe, and I use maybe strongly, Kucinich.
How can FDL keep hoping to use the system for change when over and over and over again we see that the system is rigged and broken.
I hope we got ever dollar of our money back that we gave to progressives.
Its a beginning, and as evidenced above it will have lots of hurdles to get over, but through one of the most excruciating legislative gauntlets I have ever seen, this is another hard fought step forward to giving the country the health care it needs. Thanks for your work with HCAN, too, Jason, and Jane for your determined churning here at FDL, goading the electorate to give its influence forward.
