Not exactly reassuring

Senate Democrats have defeated amendments guaranteeing that any new health care bill would not finance abortions, and which would have required applicants to produce a photo ID to prove that they were in the country legally.

President Obama and the Democratic leadership assures us that abortions will not be covered, and that illegal aliens will not be eligible. But for some reason they are unwilling to assuage fears to the contrary by putting guarantees into the bill.

They lie?
