Big Government– where else?– operative Jason Mattera dug through the original House health care bill from November to find an obscure gem allocating tax dollars to “treating ‘perpetrators of child sexual abuse who are Indian or members of an Indian household.’” Outraged that the health care bill would specifically cover child molesters, he went to seek answers from Congress’ most rational and polite liberal member: Alan Grayson.

We reported last week that a government panel issued controversial new breast cancer screening guidelines, and predicted that the very real concerns they present would be twisted to raise concerns about the House health care reform bill. Our prediction played out on Sunday’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos, as GOP Rep. Marsha Blackburn and Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz sparred about the new guidelines. Neither got it quite right, and George ran out of time.

The Federal Task Force on Clinical Preventive Services has issued new guidelines that drastically scale back the use of routine mammography and breast self-examination. Others in the medical community have condemned the change, but the Task Force’s recommendation carries extra weight, as its guidelines are the basis for minimum benefits standards in the recently-passed House health care bill.

Conservative World Net Daily reporter and talk show host Lester Kinsolving asked Robert Gibbs this hilariously loaded question at yesterday’s White House briefing.

Gibbs’ answer displayed the wit that some critics say results in too-frequent laughter in the briefing room, and cut right to the heart of the matter.

At 11:15 pm last night, the House health care reform bill passed by a vote of 220-215 to elated cheers from the Democrats. There were 39 Democratic “Nay” votes, and one Republican “Yea,” Rep. Joseph Cao (R-La). The Senate still has to pass its version of the bill, but for now, this is a moment of celebration for Democrats and proponents of health care reform. We’ve got video of the bill’s passage, and a statement from the President.
