Thought You All Could Use Some Good News on Health Care Reform

Good news from the Senate Finance Committee Wednesday, which defeated two bad amendments by Utah's Orrin Hatch (R) that could have left women with worse health care coverage than they had before health care reform.

Hatch wanted an amendment to eliminate a major compromise that let private insurance companies continue to cover abortion care but not fund coverage for this care under any government or public option. He also proposed an amendment to prohibit all private companies participating in health insurance exchanges from providing coverage for abortion care.

Thanks Max for standing by women is this fight to retain our current benefits and for your help keeping these private decisions in the hands of women, families, and doctors.

For now, women can continue to make these tough decisions based on our own moral beliefs and medical needs--not Orrin Hatch's.

OK, all the men who are for health care reform please comment about why women's health care doesn't matter. (4.00 / 2)

This is good to see and thanks for sharing (0.00 / 0)

There'll be more days -- good and bad -- before this is over. No doubt.

I support women's health care (0.00 / 0)

I've supported NARAL, Blue Mountain Clinic, Planned Parenthood ... but I shouldn't have to thank Max for voting for a core value of any decent Democrat: the right of a woman to choose. I suppose because Max has been so mediocre on so many issues that we should be thrilled when he votes the correct way on something. Sorry, can't do it.

If the anti-choice lobby had 3 million to give to Max, i assume he'd vote the other way. (0.00 / 0)

Max is a political prostitute.

I knew that comment would get taken down ... (0.00 / 0)

But you know, it's true. No matter how badly Max screws you over, you always come back to him.

that's fine... (0.00 / 0)

That's not fine, Jay. (0.00 / 0)

Mark likes his predictions, so let me make one. You won't be back in Montana by 2014, and so, you won't be coming back to Max any time soon. Call that 'fine' if you wish, but to me it looks rather clearly like Mark is just wrong. And he's not simply empirically wrong, he's being offensively wrong. He's the guy on the street corner with a sandwich board reading "The end is nigh!". No, it's not.

Kindly remember that this is the same jerk who told me over and over how Max was going to snooker me well after I obviously abandoned any hope that Max was worth a crap. He's a broken record at this point. Don't encourage him, especially not when the core of his argument is "you know, it's true."

"fine" (0.00 / 0)

He's free to play his broken record, Wulf; by "fine" I meant that the way he wrote it passed my weak, almost nonexistent guidelines (changing one of these days), not that I agree with it. It was his second stab at it...
