1. THANK YOU for pointing out that it's 11 and not 12!

it's a pet peeve of mine this notion that it's 12 Dems .... it's 11 Dems and 1 Republican! (Cao.)

2. Stupak's argument is disingenuous. You have to question his true motivation.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Obama's top adviser on health issues, said the White House was prepared to bar the use of federal money for abortion. "This will not change the status quo on the policy of abortion. There will be no federal funding for abortion," she told the same television program.

But Stupak said anti-abortion lawmakers are worried that the legislative language will follow the blueprint of the reform bill passed by the Senate, which he said does not provide sufficient safeguards.

4. You must have mean health insurace

I wonder why so many people here use the health care meme when clearly the bill is about health INSURANCE, and, in fact, handing them both our and public money.

6. A corporatist would be more likely to support the bill rather than oppose it

The bill does propose to give hundreds of billions of dollars to insurance companies, among many other give-aways.
