Senate Passes Health Care Bill: Funds Abortions, Mandates Insurance Coverage, Health Insurance


The senate passed the government run health care bill that includes massive taxpayer funding of abortion and opens the door for the Obama administration to force insurance companies to pay for abortions. With passage, the two chambers of Congress have agreed on very different legislation. Americans don’t have want tax payer funding for abortions and are opposed to a first-ever, mandatory abortion tax. Having known this, the bill’s proponents have rushed it through the senate at a time when Americans are focused on celebrating Christmas. During the senate health care vote, pro-abortion Vice president Joe Bidden chaired over the senate as lawmakers approved the bill on a strict 60-39 party-line vote with Democrats backing the pro-abortion, pro-rationing bill and Republicans opposing it. Obama appreciated the vote for a bill that violates he supposed to not have health care legislation that funds abortions. Republicans, on the other hand, took a promise to continue to fight the bill as the process moves forward. The big fight will take place in between Democratic ranks as three groups may fight with one another-pro-life Democrats who want to see the Stupak amendment from the House bill remain, Senate abortion advocate who lied the pro-abortion compromise language in the senate and House abortion advocates who want the Stupak amendment removed but have already suggested killing the senate bill because it is not pro-abortion enough to their liking.
