So should this pass the government will be blocking private companies who want to participate in the exchanges from offering coverage for legal medical procedures. Somehow, much like the vast sums spent on the "military-industrial complex", I don't think the Republicans are going to be bent out of shape over this government intervention in the US's "free" market.
UPDATE: Some Republicans, hoping to hurt the chances for passage of the overall bill, plan to vote present.
