On Health Care: Healthcare reform more important than covering abortion

Martha Coakley declared that she would have voted against the healthcare bill because of the Stupak amendment, which restricts the sale of insurance policies covering abortion through the proposed national health insurance exchange. Capuano was one of 219 House Democrats who voted for the bill.

The two nonofficeholders running, City Year co-founder Alan Khazei and Boston Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca, have both said they'll support the bill even though the Stupak amendment. Khazei features his statement in the Stupak amendment prominently on the home page of his campaign website, while Pagliuca has run radio ads nailing both Coakley and Capuano for their stance on a health care bill that could ultimately help millions of Americans.
