How bad is it in the House? Is there a chance for the current reform bill? We are thinking -- absolutely not !!! At least according to Bart Stupak

You may not know the name "Bart Stupak." He is a Democrat and works as a representative in the House. He is one of several Democrats from the state of Michigan and is the most vocal pro-life Democrat in the House. Stupak is disappointed in the leadership's approach to the current health care reform bill. He knows that the abortion related language he and 46 other House Democrats approved has been changed in its review in the Senate. That language is no longer acceptable to Mr. Stupak. But this is not the only problem. We include comments made to the Weekly Standard today, following the earthquake in Massachusetts on Tuesday.

"There is no plan B," Stupak said. "There are so many problems with the Senate bill from the House view that they wouldn’t get a 100 votes." The Senate bill's abortion-funding provision is only about fourth on the list of problems with the Senate bill, Stupak said. Here, in Stupak's words, is his primary objection, even more than the changes to his pro-life wording: The one that has members most upset is the sweetheart deals that states received. I don’t care if you’re the most liberal Democratic member or the most conservative member. That is a non-starter.

In this exert from the Weekly Standard we have the seriousness of the problem laid out for us. Most importantly, these are the words of an "insider," one who is fully aware of the attitude and temperament in the House. It is not good. Pelosi and Company have finally arrived at the end of the road whether they know it or not. All that is left is for them to turn around and start over again, or, at the very least, take a very different approach to health care reform.
