As the Senate Finance Committee debated an amendment to its health care bill proposed by Sen. John Kyl (R-Ariz.) Friday afternoon, Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) decided to keep it real. Kyl was trying to strike language defining what benefits insurers must offer. Stabenow argued that basic maternity care should be covered.

"I don't need maternity care," Kyl said, after Stabenow had given him back the floor.

But Stabenow immediately interrupted: "I think your mom probably did."

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
