Health Care Saturday

[update] and it passed. Obama's statement.

Bummer was the Stupak amendment:

Democrats were forced to make major concessions on insurance coverage for abortions to attract the final votes to secure passage, a wrenching compromise for the numerous abortion-rights advocates in their ranks.

And just a little bit of procedural fun:


The House to vote today.
