Obama visits Capital Hill to Help Push Health Care Bill

The time has come, as the House of Representatives are beginning their debate on the issue that's been at the top of everyone's mind lately, health care. It is unknown as to how long the debates will take, but already the Representatives are mowing over one very sensitive issue, abortion funding. The legislation put forth from the House Democrats apparently is heading towards being amended, as restriction on abortion funding seems to be a path that lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are considering.

President Obama visited Capital Hill as he met with the Democratic caucus, in an attempt to push forward the health care plan. He is hoping that this legislation will become law by before the end of the year, but there just seems to be so much to talk about. The health care legislation is now towering over 2000 pages, but the representatives in the house may have to postpone the vote on the bill from Saturday to Sunday. But there is a very significant development here. Democrats not favoring abortion convinced Democratic leaders to enter in an amendment that would ban most abortion coverage from the public option and within "the exchange". The only exceptions here would be with cases of rape, incest or if the mothers life is in danger. As long as taxpayer spending is not allowed, it looks as if anti-abortion Democrats will support the bill.  With elections of State Representatives coming up next year, President Obama would love to get his health care legislation off of the table, so that he could concentrate on other issues.
President Obama does not plan to rest. It is without a doubt that he will be the one President in U.S. history that has attempted to accomplish, or has accomplished more things in office than any other President in U.S. history.
