OK, aside from the governor’s race, the House Health Care Bill (H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act). was the big news of the week. And the bill is faaaaaaaaaaar from perfect. The bill contains the Stupak/Pitts Amendment which prohibits federal funding of abortion. But it does allow Viagra to be paid for as a prescription drug. And yet the Speaker of the House is a woman. Guess it’s one step forward, step and a half back.
