Didn't Obama say Government funded abortions were not part of his Health Care plan?

I also remember the liberal in here arguing that abortions were not in the Health care Bill. if that's the case then why is Nancy Pelosi upset with Michigan Democrat Rep. Bart Stupak who say that Pelosi "is not pleased with his effort to change abortion-related provisions in the healthcare bill being crafted by the House."? Another lie by Obama?

The real goal of this healthcare bill is not "covering" everyone with health insurance because the CBO estimates that we will still have more than 20 million people not covered by insurance. If that is the case, then why do this bill at all? It's about the government having control over more and more people. Otherwise other cheaper and more effective solutions would be advanced. Tort reform would be a good start but the lawyers are the largest democrat donors so that won't happen. Allowing insurance companies to "compete" across state lines would help but the insurance companies donate alot of money. Do you notice a pattern here? Pelosi insisting on government funded abortions is just the libs trying to advance an agenda. It's all a big lie!!!

Forget that, Planned Parenthood gets money and Sen. McCaskill gets about $500,000* from the abortion group. Bill Clinton was a corporate man and helped the country, now nothing is going on. No roads or jobs.

For those who didn't know this "bill" was already done before he hit the Whitehorse and done by outside sources maybe from China, who knows or Ayers. Thing is Bush adn majority Republicans worked with the Democrats. Bush a d Kennedy got the health care passed for children, yes George Bush oh my. then the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan also and worked with the democrats.

The Democrats are acting like little kids. I remember the Republicans passed Clinton's court appointments and then later under a Republican they stabbed them in the back.

Not all democrats are that insane, but to look like Pelosi and go "tee hee" is nuts.

Granted the lobbyists are donating over $3.2 billion* to the House and Senate members in 2008 and that will go a long way. By the way the Drug bill was suppose to cost $500 billion over ten years according to the CBO, but after it was signed the CBO admitted they made a 100% mistake and it would be over a trillion bucks.

Hey the insurance lobbies only;u had to pay $50 million to get out of a $100 billion in obligations a year and the health care people have donated HALF A BILLION BUCKS , so you can bet this bill will be full of pork and great for them.

The bill is 1,018 pages, 2,541 sections and really they need to get the people or framers who wrote it before it got to the congress to explain what is in it. Remember it was to save about 75,000 a year that perish due to no insurance, but most doctors and medical places have said that is hog wag, but if it is true why do they want 300,000 to perish.

In closing he did say Gitmo would be closed and that the cop was stupid. ha, ha. But hopefully the Republicans will fight the fight and the "blue dog" Democrats will save the day as any one of these big things get passed the country heads into depression.

In the site below put in any Senator or Rep and see who donates to them, how much and how they vote.

I didn't find which provision he wanted to change. The Hyde amendment prohibits federal funds to be spent of elective abortions.
However abortion can be paid for if the life of the mother is in danger.
Attempts to overturn this have been brought before the Supreme Court, and they have found that it is not permissible to force a woman to carry a pregnancy at the risk of her life.
If that's what Stupak wants to do then he's got a problem.
He also notes that Obama does not want to allow abortions to be performed under the bill as it stands now, so Obama isn't lying even by the guy you are using to try and show that Obama is lying.

Not everyone is happy that we are creating a two tiered system for women, since no other legal medical procedures are unavailable to people. Once again making women out to be unable, or incompetent to decide for themselves whether or not they want to carry to term.

yeah i heard about that too but i don't know how true it is, there has been a lot of rumors about the health care bill going around , being spread by those who oppose it. I really hope it isn't true though i'm pro choice but i don't think abortion's should be paid for by tax payers if a women choices to have an abortion she should find a way to pay for that herself.
