Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, and Jim Clyburn did some kick-ass whip counting, and passed massive, meaningful, historic health care reform tonight, 220-215.
Sadly, they attached an evil stupid amendment called the "Stupak Amendment" and I'll get to that tomorrow. Right now, it's party time America. It's not perfect, but it's a leap in the right direction. Public schools aren't perfect, but getting an education is standard in this country, and we're looking at that now in terms of health care.
Congratulations everyone who worked hard for this, y'all rock!
The Stupak Amendment is pretty major. I know that it's great that we've moved towards providing health care for all, but letting this happen on the backs of women, denying them choice, is detrimental to all of society.
