Will Stupak’s Healthcare Deal Be Worth Its Socialist Price?

Would you want to be held as a war prisoner with Stupak ? We now know Stupak's character or is it lack of character then maybe its lack of legal information and lack of law knowledge.Surely he doesn't lack for this- He is a law-maker.

Is Obama a king or a dictator that makes the law or does Congress make them? Isn't this America? Then there's prior law cases in the federal courts; does these opinions, rules and decisions mandate legal provisions to be in any new Law ?

Now Let me hear it twice; All together.Yea for Big-Brother's Executive Order !!

Since Stupak lives near Canada I suggest that He move there and I believe He will get a lot of help in the near future if Americans aren't broke and bankrupted by this health-care law with its additional costs, more taxes, fines and expenses for 17000 additional IRS agent's payroll with their retirement and health-care benefits to enforce this much desired mandated law.

Yes it is expected obama should be President for another near 3 years. You have failed to take into account recent history.

Newt revolution occurred with less than what we now have. If right, a larger majority in Congress could occur. If mandate is achieved obama could be forced to sign bill to repeal his health bill.

Example, Bill Clinton never signed a balance budget until forced upon him. 3-5 times he refused to sign. Government was on verge of shutting down. Then Clinton signed and Bill took balancing the budge under his wings.

The benefits that do begin soon are things in Republican plans anyhow with some difference. No 4 year wait for all benefits. During which time you pay taxes on something you don’t get.

how timely - just a few weeks away from Holy Week. Disingenuous for him to don the label "Pro-life". I hope he's naive -otherwise he's delusional, or - he hasn't fully disclosed what else they bought his vote with. Shame on him -- what a cost. Is everything "negotiable"?

the existing bill denies coverage for abortion. Period. Also - we have had this rule built into all our bills the past 40 years. No need to add extra wording. No need to change existing methodologies that protect life.

Stupak is an ardent pro-life politician. No one can take that away from him. The Right is just angry because he voted for the bill. His actions have not changed nor his positions on abortion. He is against it. Period. He made that clear, and I respect his willingness to stand up for the pro-life position.

Conservatives have this bad habit of treating anyone who doesn't vote their way as vile and evil. These lemmings are the Stepford children of Boehner.
