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.

“TIME TO FIGHT!”

I’m remembering this from the movie Stripes which sums it up for me: “We’re soldiers. But, we’re American soldiers, and we’ve been kicken’ ass for 200 years. We’re ten and one!”

November? America won’t survive that long. The Tyrants next bill will be Amnesty for 20 million illegal aliens, giving them voting power this fall. Another 20 million Dem voters.
