House Sends Health Care Bill To Obama's Desk President to sign reforms into law; 'fixes' still require House, Senate action
BREAKING
WASHINGTON - After well over a year of negotiations, setbacks, and political wrangling, the House has approved President Barack Obama’s top domestic policy initiative, sending a bill to massively overhaul the nation’s health insurance system to his desk to be signed and enacted into law.
The climactic chapter in a century-long quest for near universal coverage concludes with the House's 219-212 approval of a bill to extend coverage to 32 million Americans who lack it, ban insurers from denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing medical conditions and cut deficits by an estimated $138 billion over a decade.
Republicans voted unanimously against the bill, which they say constitutes a government takeover of the health care system, financed by a trillion dollars in higher taxes and Medicare cuts combined.

F’n .. Disgusting .. what an embarrassement to be an American today

TIME TO FIGHT!
ObamaCare must be resisted by any means necessary. The Congress has committed Treason and Treason must be resisted immediately, not merely at the ballot box.
Actually is Sharpton.....pick up your arms and revolt.....NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! Another multi trillion dollar entitlement!
Just what the doctor ordered.
I can’t wait to see the townhalls for these folks. That will be fun at least...
Pickup up arms folks! Time to revolt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The bastardization of American health care is now complete! I will never forget this night as long as I live.
I thank Jesus Christ that I don’t have any children so that they have to witness this utter travesty!
recommit vote is failing too. it’s over.
The irony is of course that everyone knows this president has no legal authority to sign the bill.
That is if anyone thats still patriotic is willing to stand up and pursue it.
I do believe its due time for an awakening of the ...wait for it...
The Birthers!
I very sincerely hope not everyone is loading mags right now, we can still force Obamas hand...literally.
Founding Fathers puking in their graves tonight.
We want names........
