Without Rep.Bart Stupak and his little group of pro-life Democrats, it wouldn't have passed the House.
I don't see that Stupak got anything as a concession from the Dems, in the way of preventing state-funded abortion Stupak postures about opposing. He agreed to vote yes for the bill, on the promise that language would be included preventing state-funded abortion, which likely won't be amended in.
It was just a front that allowed him and his group to vote for Obamacare while feigning opposition and reluctance.
Most of the people who voted for socialism will be voted out in a couple months. After that begins the process of undoing all the damage obama has done.
Nancy Pelosi is still a hateful ugly bitch.

And another thing, when I want to watch the news during the one of the most significant moments in American history I do not want to see Heraldo Rivera on my TV.

It passed the house tonight. That evil bitch Pelosi's grinning like Cesar Romero on an episode of "Batman" even as we speak.
I couldn't believe the whoppers she told in her opening response to Rep Boehner. About this bill saving money, and upholding the Constitution. And promoting free enterprise and small business.
This bill is pure and simple government control. A power grab by the Democrats. Pelosi shit on the Constitution, and claimed to pass this bill in the name of the Constitution she is destroying.
King Hussein the First and Pelosi don't think it can be undone. That is why they were willing to throw so many of their own people under the bus.
Basically, they believe that they have created an entitlement and it's very difficult, if not impossible, to undo an entitlement. Think social security.
Our best hope now is that the Supreme Court strikes this shit down before the Lord High Dictator gets another Justice or two on the high court.
Yeah, I know Idaho and Virginia both have cases going that Obamacare be rejected as unconstitutional, for a number of reasons. Such as (1) forcing everyone to buy healthcare (Obama compared it dismissively to being required to have car insurance, but the difference is you can elect not to own a car). And (2) it could also be deemed unconstitutional because of all the bribes and coercion necessary ("Louisiana Purchase" of Sen. Landrieu's vote, the Cornhusker bribe that got Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson's vote, and the Medicare buyoff of Sen Bill Nelson in my home state of Florida, sweetheart deals to unions and ACORN, etc.) all the schemes used to ram this monstrosity through by just the narrowest of margins.
For all the attempts to say "well, Republicans did it too", there's never been a power grab of this level by Republicans, and bribery of members of their own party to get them on board as Obama/Pelosi/Reid have done, or an attempt to take over 20% of the U.S. economy without so much as a legitimate vote, by circumnavigating procedure with "reconciliation". And beyond that thwarthing the will of between 52% to 55% of the American people in every poll --a clear majority-- who fiercely oppose this legislation, this bribery and this authoritarian power-grab.
Like I said before, we will have 20% unemployment rate by the end of the year. The socializing of health care will force businesses to either fire people or go out of business.

We hold hope that future Congresses will show the same courage in implementing the enforcement of new taxes as we have in voting for future Congresses to levy new taxes.
Both his holiness and the ugly bitch said last night that this was a bi-partisan bill. No Republican voted yes on the bill. Words have meanings. Did no one teach these two as kids? Are they that oblivious that even this basic fact? Are they really that anti-logic?

You're over analyzing this. They know exactly what bipartisan means. Both of them are just lying sacks of shit.

Kucinich agreed like three days before to vote "yes" for the bill. He had previously been in the "no" column, because the bill wasn't hard-Left enough, Kucinich was holding out for a single-payer system.
When they met privately, in addition to other favors to buy Kucinich's vote, Obama probably made it clear that this was a stepping-stone to a single-payer system. While the media hasn't reported it, Obama has made it clear he expects single-payer to wipe out private insurance over "10, 15, maybe 20 years".
