reform. this issue seems to have been co opted as a victory for a politician and a political party no matter who does or does not benefit. I am at the point in my life where the issues matter and I don't give a rats ass about either. I and many millions of Americans need real health care Reform and not just a bone tossed to us with a vague future promise to do better. The implication is that we should 'trust" the democrats and Obama while they stick a knife in our backs. I have always been a democrat because they espoused values that represented the people as opposed to corporate interests, or so I thought. But the absolute cynicism of including Stupak in this bill goes way beyond any pragmatic acceptance I may have of political expedience.
