The case provides basic background about Stupak, his district, as well as the Obamacare discourse but the core of the story is owned by the abortion policy subplot of the larger health care reform play, which culminated with the closing, razor-close vote on the Affordable Care Act in the U.S. House of Representatives on March 21, 2010. At this critical moment, together with the fate of the ACA hanging by a thread, the Democratic leadership pressed Stupak and his little group of prolife House Democrats to abandon their controversial abortion stand and deliver their critically-needed votes to pass the Obamacare bill.
Man on a Wire Bart Stupak Walks a Tight Line between Obamacare & Abortion Case Study Solution
At the same time, Stupak's conventional pro- life and Catholic supporters doubled-down on demands that he and his group hold the line, even if it meant dealing the death blow to health reform. Anti-Obamacare Republicans, meantime, maneuvered around the borders, seeking to leverage the abortion issue in a last-ditch effort to kill the bill. The case closely follows conflicts Stupak's own perceptions, and picks as he attempted to walk a middle path in this highly charged atmosphere. In the long run, he made a deal with President Barack Obama, who agreed to set abortion restrictions in the form of an executive order in exchange for the support of Stupak and his bloc on the ACA.
