Well, bravo. This was just an attempt to use Health Care Reform to undermine Roe v. Wade. I wish these guys would get their religion out of our government. Abortion is legal and it’s a health care issue and thus should be covered as health care.

Limbaugh compares health care to housing. If you have money, you get health care, if you don’t, oh well. People with money get a house on the beach and the rest are shit out of luck. How dare those who aren’t wealthy expect to be able to get health care.

The Senate voted on party lines Saturday night to end a Republican filibuster and bring a bill that would overhaul the nation’s health-care system to the Senate floor.
After days of indecision, the two final holdouts — Sens. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) and Mary Landrieu (D-La.) — voted with all 60 members of their [...]
WARNING: While adult language is bleeped out, it is still pretty obvious.
Viagra? Yes. Birth control? No
How shortsighted is it to not require birth control coverage in insurance plans while at the same time claiming to want to cut the number of abortions performed each year? Are women really expected to give up sex or have a baby every year or so?
Why must women always [...]
I’m terribly afraid the bill has been so watered down that it really means very little.
The House floor erupted in one of the loudest cheers the chamber has heard in years when Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), an hour before midnight, cast the 218th and deciding vote on landmark health care reform.
There were still six minutes [...]
All of our representatives need to take an oath to not take any more money from the insurance industry. It is a conflict of interest.
