  1. @chrisgeidner Sorry--thought I was. Fixed now.
  2. No one has anything good or bad yet. The HCR bill has only passed the House. I hope folks who like or not the House bill, weigh in w Sens.
  3. @AmadiTalks There is a provision that allows a fed agency to define "dependent" for many aspects, so who controls the fed gov is impt.
  4. The abortion issue is not final and the entire (or virtually entire) 190 member pro-choice caucus voted for final passage.
  5. @kynn And other huge shortcomings: no single payer, weak pub option, excludes many immigrants. But overall net positive for LGBT ppl
  6. If it sticks and becomes law, it would be great for trans people and all LGBT. Abortion restriction huge loss though.
  7. @cybil_d Short version though: data collection, dp benefits, disparities $, eliminate pre-existing and no trans care exclusion.
  8. @cybil_d Not on Twitter but well do a blog post shortly at www.transequality.org
  9. @GrrrlRomeo HCR bill in House is very positive for trans and all LGBT folks.
  10. Rep Joseph Cao (R-LA) has voted with the majority. Good for him. He voted for Hate Crime Bill as well.
  11. Healthcare reform has passed the U.S. House. Great for #LGBT People
  12. Final House vote on Healthcare Reform happening now.
  13. Why is Rep Michelle Bachmann (R-the Mothership) wearing a lei on the House floor?
  14. Republicans last chance to obstruct: motion to recommit. Rep Cantor (R-Va) taking the lead. Let's see what it is.
  15. Stupak anti-choice amendmnt has passed. Repro rights is an #lgbt issue. If they'll ban abortion, what other stigmatized care is next?
  16. House voting on Stupak (R-MI) anti-choice amendment to healthcare bill.
  17. RT @TheTaskForce: #stopstupak amendment. Protect reproductive choice for all women! http://bit.ly/azbDW #lgbt #equality #prochoice
  18. Do opponents of healthcare reform not understand that healthcare is already currently rationed, but by insurance companies?
  19. Congressman @jaredpolis (D-CO) speaking in favor of Healthcare reform. He understands it is an important #LGBT issue.
  20. Republicans did not want to hear that. Interrupted her.
