The Stupak anti-abortion amendment reaches far beyond what most reports indicate, and could effect tens of millions of people. And still, Americans United For Change is thanking representatives who voted for it.
Fortunately, Boxer thinks the Stupak language will not be part of the Senate bill.
The House vote on health care has already become an issue in the gubernatorial primary in Alabama.
Bernie Sanders is ready to use reconciliation to pass health care reform with a public option.
Dayen has a rough outline of the Senate schedule for health care.
Mark Warner acknowledges there is a huge cost problem with a current health care system, but refuses to champion any real solutions.
Don’t get too excited about Bill Clinton giving senators a pep talk.

Americans United for Change are not alone -
OFA’s inviting folks to welcome home pro-Stupak critters and thank them
p.s. AFSCME chipped in on six of those ads -
Yeah ’cause Clinton has such a great record: Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell; repealing Glass-Steagall, NAFTA . . .
And that whole “success” thingy on health care reform . .
Mauimom, You’re right on the mark about Billy C. and, as you know, your examples provide just the barest glimpse of the harm he did. His performance is ONE of the reasons I opted for Obama over Hillary, in spite of their almost identical voting records. She couldn’t be trusted. I went hook, line & sinker for Obama’s “hope” crap. Who knew?
All, Check out David Leonhardt’s NY Times 11/10/09 piece, “Falling Far Short of Reform”. I WISH people would stop being distracted by the blatent misdirection ploy & focus on convincing Congressional Democrats the House Bill is a travesty. Our ONLY hope is to convince them we will NOT “settle” for a hodgepodge of the proposed House & Senate Healthcare shams; the Democratic Party MUST pass REAL, MONUMENTAL Healthcare reform NOW or we WILL abandon the Party as it has abandoned us!
