The House passed its version of the health care bill last night in a vote of 220 to 215. Interestingly, one Republican, Joseph Cao from Louisiana, voted for the bill. "I have always said that I would put aside partisan wrangling to do the business of the people. My vote tonight was based on my priority of doing what is best for my constituents," Cao said. Maybe there is some hope for the Republican Party after all.
I was also interested at the bipartisan press conference after the signing in which both sides claimed victory and said they were happy (??) with the bill. For the Republicans, this was largely due to the Stupak amendment that bans federal money for abortions.
So my initial thoughts are fairly positive. In listening to Michelle Bachmann, it sounded like we were all going to be thrown into a boiling pit of sewage. I also thought the partisanship would turn even more acrimonious. Tomorrow, I'll start putting up some of the finer points of the bill and we can talk about them.

You should talk about all aspects of the bill, not just the parts you like.
Or he can talk about what he wants to talk about since it's his fucking blog.
Well I don't expect you to comment on any specifics of the bill dick, you only show up to insult people on here so when he does start talking about provisions in the bill, you won't have anything to talk about.
Yeah, you can talk about whatever you want but if all of you supporters of this bill choose to ignore the questions I'm going to put forth your way...well, that will speak volumes. Let's see if the bill stands up to a little scrutiny...that is if you all aren't too chickenshit to answer a couple questions about it.
if the ft hood shooter had been a listener of rush then markadelphia would have talked about that by now. he said on the other blog that he loosely knew someone down there - that's a weak excuse to not comment and that hasnt stopped him in the past. if the guy was a hannity fan then markadelphia would have been yelling about it by now but there nothing in it for him to post about it.
