Making sense of the Health Care Bill


Matthew Anderson posted some helpful FAQ on what just happened. Here are the questions he answers:
  • Did the Senate health care bill, which was the bill under consideration, cover abortions initially?
  • But isn’t this bill covered by the Hyde Amendment, which prevents federal funding for abortions?
  • So Stupak solved this with the Executive Order, right?
  • Why did Stupak cave, then?
  • Did Stupak get anything for it?
  • And pro-lifers?
  • Can we be done talking about this now?

These Democrats voted against the bill and numbered 34.
