The Senate passed its version of what they are now calling “health insurance reform” in the snowy dark of the winter solstice night, moving Majority Harry Reid’s (D-NV) bill (stuffed into its sausage casing) toward likely final Senate passage later this week. The so-called compromise to Sen. Nelson’s (D-NE) Stupak-like language in there, banning abortion coverage unless a woman turns herself into a pretzel, and over in the House, Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) is still yammering that’s not stringent enough. The fight will continue this week and then go to conference committee. Ample time remains for more mischief to be done, or for improvements to be made. Get the latest information and take action daily at notunderthebus.com.
