Former Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich. (AP Photo) (CNSNews.com) – Four years after the House passed Obamacare, former Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) told Fox News Channel’s Neil Cavuto Wednesday that he does not regret voting for it.

“No, I don’t regret the vote. I’m proud of the vote. I always felt that health care should be a right, not a privilege in this country - one of the reasons why I ran for Congress. I’m glad to have helped accomplish that goal,” Stupak said.

Stupak, a pro-life Democrat, led a group of other pro-life Dems prior to passage of the bill, who said they would not support the measure unless it included an amendment prohibiting taxpayer funding of abortion. He supported the bill on the day of the final vote after President Barack Obama promised to sign an executive order to Stupak’s liking.

“Did you know that there would be these problems or that millions of Americans would have to pay more for their premiums or for that matter, maybe not have health care altogether?” Cavuto asked Stupak.

Up Yours Stupak. You are disgusting LIAR who needs to be made pay personally for the damage you have caused. You have a LOT OF NERVE trying to defend the outright destruction of our Health Care system while you and your friends get to have better care than the rest of us while we have to foot YOUR BILL. Live like us you bastard, then come back and talk. Give up your health care. Give up your big fat pension. Give up your big fat fed salary. Then come back and defend your vote.

Never forget. Stupak didn't come cheap. He got a full partnership with THE premier DC lobbying firm.

I would say “Please let a giant “D’oh” be heard from coast to coast this november when he loses re-election”, but unfortunately, he already ate his own shorts

They have poll-tested, “Health-care should be a right, not a privilege”. It is the third time I have read it today from the Rats. We will hear it again and again. It must have tested well.

IIRC, Stupak was bought off by the promise that there would be no funding for abortions. ASAP, there was funding for abortions. So, I guess Stupak is a hypocrite. Either that or he’s just another Dem narcissist that will never admit a mistake. Or he was always lying that he was pro-life.

Stupak’s district and the Mn 8th are canaries in the coal mine. A deluge is coming.

The response should be that we have lost our health-care cause of Democratic party 'privilege'.

I don’t think it was much more than a week after his vote that he announced his retirement.

I wonder why he’s so chatty now?

Out of touch liberal living off special interest’s money who doesn’t have an iota what is is to live under Obama’s economy. I’d say he’s just sucking up to 0

What they really mean is healthcare is a right if someone else is paying for it

So does ObamaCare cover abortions?

Health care should be a right. Unfortunately you don’t get it from drug and cut Allopaths. Allopathy only handles a minority of health problems. Their insistence that they are the only authorities on health is criminal in its scope and does the civilization a disservice. Unless you have a particular known condition with a known and proven allopathic cure (i.e. a broken leg, pneumonia, cataracts, etc.) you are better off avoiding the cut/pushers.
