As Joe pointed out during his speech, "He said" is virtually useless.

Abortion: Which Side Is Fabricating? | FactCheck.org
"As for other types of abortions, the Capps amendment leaves it to the secretary of Health and Human Services to decide whether or not they will be covered. It says, "Nothing in this Act shall be construed as preventing the public health insurance option from providing" abortion services. . . ."

should we retitle this thread "what happened to the hyde amendment"?

is obama proposing that we get rid of it? cause if we don't, federal funds still can't be spent on abortions.

as i understand it, the capps amendment applies to *private* insurance plans where other aspects of the plan receive federal funding. it would not apply to a government insurance plan where all funds come from the government.
