Former Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich. (AP Photo) (CNSNews.com) – Four years after the House passed Obamacare, former Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) told Fox News Channel’s Neil Cavuto Wednesday that he does not regret voting for it.
“No, I don’t regret the vote. I’m proud of the vote. I always felt that health care should be a right, not a privilege in this country - one of the reasons why I ran for Congress. I’m glad to have helped accomplish that goal,” Stupak said.
Stupak, a pro-life Democrat, led a group of other pro-life Dems prior to passage of the bill, who said they would not support the measure unless it included an amendment prohibiting taxpayer funding of abortion. He supported the bill on the day of the final vote after President Barack Obama promised to sign an executive order to Stupak’s liking.
“Did you know that there would be these problems or that millions of Americans would have to pay more for their premiums or for that matter, maybe not have health care altogether?” Cavuto asked Stupak.
Stupak Does Not Regret Voting for Obamacare...
Of course not. He’s a socialist(D) and believes in the Socialist Utopia,
He puts the stupe in Stupak
I’d like to forcibly hoist his testicles to his collarbone with my boot.
If healthcare is a "right" then what will he do when we run out of money? When the "free" healthcare offered by the government is not good enough to provide people the sort of lifestyle they believe they are owed? What happens then to his "right" to free healthcare?
I am very wary of claiming anything as a "right" that could cost our neighbors hundreds of billions of dollars per year, and which could potentially bankrupt us. Rights such as freedom of speech, religion, press, and assembly cost comparatively little to protect. The "right" to healthcare could send your neighbor to the poor house.
Proud of the fact that taxpayer money is now being used to fund abortion. Let this be a lesson to everyone. There is no such thing as a pro-life Democrat.
Having congressmen and senators should be a right, not a privilege. We should not have to pay for their salaries.
His name doesn’t start with Stup for nothing.
This proves he was a fraud all along.
I wonder how many congress people are NOT cashing in. I’d bet the vast majority are out and out bought and paid for.
....a big AMEN to what you said......
He’s on my list but not yet on page one. It’s a long list.
Well put Nachum. It is CRIMINAL for Congress to exempt themselves from ANY law they pass, not just ObastardCare.
Our rights come from God. The Constitution, and the Amendments, are there to protect us from Big Government, which invariably wants to take them from us.
” I always felt that health care should be a right, not a privilege in this country.”
Given the logic displayed in this sentiment, I pose the question:
Why aren’t legal services, food, clothing, housing and transportation “a right,and free”?
Can’t spell, huh? It’s Stupid.
Why do I have to pay for a right?
“I always felt that health care should be a right, not a privilege in this country”
In that case Bart, who are you willing to FORCE to provide medical services? Are you proposing that the government should FORCE everyone to actively participate in their rights? Are you willing to force everyone to practice religeon? Are you willing to force everyone to participate in political speech? Are you willing to force everyonen to “bear arms?”
What say you Bart?
