The language was posted in a thread several weeks ago, I'm not able to pull it up, my apologies for not being able to provide the specific words. It amounts to no federal subsidy to pay for insurance if a woman wants abortion coverage, however, it does not prohibit federal funding of abortion whatsoever It was some kind of accounting language, typical legislative monkeyshines. It is not the long-standing Hyde language that Stupak claimed had to be a part of any health care reform bill or he and his pro-life Dem colleagues would not vote for final passage -- he is on record later as saying that even if the Hyde language is not included, he would vote for final passage, he used the "Well, we tried" whine. At this point, I would not put any faith or trust in Stupak, work on some other pro-life Dem.
No, I'm sorry. I created a poorly constructed sentence. I'm completely aware of the differences in the Senate bill, and what Bart Stupak and others agreed to in the House bill - provisions that would prevent public monies for abortion.
I meant that I hadn't seen anything written about Barry's bill with respect to the Cadillac tax; Does he include it or eliminate it in his proposal?
