Wow, what a frothing frenzy of flat-out fabrications and 200-proof bullshit we've had. But we're nearly there. Votes are coming in around 9:30 EST, on both Stupak and the Republican substitute--though it's not clear at the moment which is coming first.
But in the meantime, here's a little refresher from the Republicans long day of prevarication. Here's just one small example.

[Debbie] Wasserman Schultz says GOP alternative health care plan allows insurers to continue denying coverage for pre-existing conditions....
Wasserman Schultz was correct when she said the GOP plan does not prohibit health insurance companies from denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions. We found nothing in the 219-page Republican plan that would do that.
