@SBJ: You stole that from my brain. Absolutely. Here we have a tiny little lying pea brain and here we have a smart smart smart accomplished woman. Discuss. Bwa ha ha ha ha.

Hillary has learned some of Obama's jujitsu -- sure, lets have that cup of coffee. #hillaryclinton

Maybe Hillary should take Palin with when she goes to Singapore! Then, Hillary can give her a pack of gum right when they get off the plane and tell Palin that local culture requires you chew lots of gum and then just drop the wad on the street.
We will never see that bitch again. #hillaryclinton

@TheUptightMidwesterner: You made me laugh out loud! My college roommate lived in Singapore for several years, so I heard all about the strict rules re: gum chewing. She would bring mega-packs of it with her when she went home for her younger siblings. #hillaryclinton

Having coffee with Sarah Palin would be like going to see a really bad movie "ironically," and then 10 minutes in you realise there really is nothing funny about it, but you've already paid good money so you're stuck. #hillaryclinton

I *love* the subtle put-down. "I'm sure I'll see something while I'm in Beijing, and Shanghai, and Singapore..." subtext: "you know, because I'm the goddamn Secretary of State of the US and I have actual work to do, and you're just a failed governor with PR problems." #hillaryclinton

Clinton: "I'd rather watch crappy TV in Singapore than read Palin's book."

But really, she was wonderfully gracious, and I'd be proud to even just be the barista that foamed the milk for a Clinton/Palin summit.

Edit: She's got a great laugh. Wish we heard it more on the campaign trail.

I would like for cameras to be there recording the meeting for posterity when Hillary rips Sarah Palin a new asshole.

It really is a travesty that this smart woman isn't held up as an example. Instead we get the vapid airhead Palin and womanhood is set back 30 years. #hillaryclinton

In reply to Rachel Maddow Discusses Stupak Amendment On Meet The Press
The day that healthcare providers separated abortion out to clinics from inside hospitals was the day the medical establishment said to women that this is not a protected procedure

Catholic and Baptist hospitals offer little to no reproductive care, and yet they receive federal dollars. They turn away women and men seeking reproductive care. They turn away women needing terminations in dire dire circumstances, never mind the simple elective ones.

Women are still a long way from being first class citizens.

Make every candidate know that you are a women's issues voter. #rachelmaddow

In reply to Rachel Maddow Discusses Stupak Amendment On Meet The Press
I'm sorry, I know it's totally selfish, but my gut reaction is health care reform without comprehensive women's health care is not health care reform. What, are we going to go back to the whole, "Pregnancy prevention is the woman's responsibility?" Oh, wait. There are still a ton of people who think that way. :head-desk:

I've said it once, I'll say it again. Time for the straight women of the US to go all Lysistrata until everyone can acknowledge that women are people, which means issues specific to our gender ought to be covered by universal health care. #rachelmaddow

@smirkette: Insurance companies will be barred from covering abortion to anyone who is recieving any public health money, and there's no requirement for them to cover birth control or pelvic exams.

I feel like Kanye West today. Barack Obama doesn't care about female people #rachelmaddow

In reply to Rachel Maddow Discusses Stupak Amendment On Meet The Press
Rachel is completely right when she says that Stupak is the biggest affront to a women's right to choose since the Hyde Amendment. @hanamaru - rape and incest loopholes work b/c women who choose to have abortions after being raped or after instances of incest must request a "special" exception on their policy, most likely paying out of pocket and then be reimbursed. (As if these individuals don't have enough to worry about, they now must claim extra paperwork to have their abortion covered)

The part that bothers me is that an abortion is a LEGAL MEDICAL PROCEDURE in the United States. I repeat, a LEGAL MEDICAL PROCEDURE. I find it counterintuitive that we ban it from being covered. Federal employees already are have abortion procedures excluded from their policies thanks to the Hyde Amendment. With Stupak, individuals who purchase into the Public Option - WITH THEIR OWN MONEY, no subsidies, will be barred from policies which cover abortions. Not only will economically disadvantaged women suffer, but truly all women as clinics drop providing abortion services because they are not reimbursed for them.

As happy as I am with the passage of healthcare reform, I am disappointed with Stupak. #rachelmaddow

@sonrisa86156: Thank you for stressing the broad reach of this amendment. It is not just about gov't funding, it's about what citizens may do with our own, non-tax money. I think a lot of people don't get that. There's also a penalty for not buying into the public option, that makes it a steeper financial barrier.

This is absolutely not just about government money. #rachelmaddow

@Hana Maru: I don't know about the penalty for not buying into the public option, there may be a mandate for coverage, like in Mass.

The public option will be just that an OPTION, a purchasing pool of plans that individuals can choose from, very similar to the federal employee benefits plan. Many people don't realize that it is virtually impossible to find an affordable individual healthcare plan. Unless you are very poor and eligible for state insurance, disabled (and on SSDI for at least 2yrs) and eligible for Medicare, or over 65 and eligible for Medicare - there isn't really anything out there.

This plan allows for an empowered option that individuals can feel confident that they are buying a quality plan, overseen by the federal gov't but administered by private insurers - that won't bar them if they have preexisiting conditions or kick them out if they get sick. #rachelmaddow
