  RedState — Authority: 803
  I fiddled with cutting down this video of Speaker Pelosi admitting that she’s fine with sending people who don’t want to be insured to jail (H/T: Infidels are Cool ): …but I’m not all that happy with the results . Which is interesting, because I’m also not happy with the notion of throwing poor people ...

• Promised Health Care Savings: Don’t Bet On Medicare Cuts

  
  The Foundry — Authority: 760
  Forget the President’s rhetoric about bending the health care cost curve. The House of Representatives will soon vote on legislation ( H.R. 3961 ) that effectively repeals the cost control mechanism included in the Medicare physician payment update formula back in 1997. Passage of H.R. 3961 would add another $210 ...

• War and Health Care

  
  Darlene's Hodgepodge — Authority: 416
   Rumor has it that President Obama is going to announce how many troops he will be sending to Afghanistan.  Didnt the tragedy at Ft. Hood make clear how worn out our military is and bring to the forefront the human tragedy of repeated deployments?  Didnt Viet Nam teach us anything? Nicholas Kristof has ...

• False Hope and the Stupak Amendment

  
  Matthew Yglesias — Authority: 805
  One reason private health insurance tends to cover abortions is that having an abortion is a lot cheaper than having a baby. Consequently, it kinda sorta seems like the Stupak Amendment might have a limited practical impact. Thus I’ve had thoughts along the lines of this from Mark Kleiman : But what happens when ...

• The Stupak Minimum

  
  Confessions of a Political Junkie — Authority: 121
  As I wrote the other day , I think the Stupak Amendment was an instance of the pro-life community not seeing the forest for the trees and it should have been opposed. But I am willing to admit I could be wrong. What I do know is that the House Republican Leadership has been very, very good at combating the ...

• Abortion for sale; Taxpayers expected to pay the bill.

  
  HotMES — Authority: 562
  Of course it’s Planned Parenthood pushing against the restriction on federal funding financing abortion. I wonder why? Maybe it’s because they stand to lose the most if federal taxdollars aren’t allowed to be used for abortion : Abortion-rights advocates are calling in the cavalry to help fight off an ...

  A Blue View — Authority: 151
  Ive been struggling with my conflicting feelings on Afghanistan and what I think needs to be done next.
