The House Passes Government-Run Health Care
In a victory for President Barack Obama, the Democratic-controlled House narrowly passed landmark health care legislation Saturday night to expand coverage to tens of millions who lack it and place tough new restrictions on the insurance industry. Republican opposition was nearly unanimous.
The 220-215 vote cleared the way for the Senate to begin a long-delayed debate on the issue that has come to overshadow all others in Congress.
A triumphant Speaker Nancy Pelosi likened the legislation to the passage of Social Security in 1935 and Medicare 30 years later -- and Obama issued a statement saying, "I look forward to signing it into law by the end of the year."
"It provides coverage for 96 percent of Americans. It offers everyone, regardless of health or income, the peace of mind that comes from knowing they will have access to affordable health care when they need it," said Rep. John Dingell, the 83-year-old Michigan lawmaker who has introduced national health insurance in every Congress since succeeding his father in 1955.

Just an observation, you can not reason with a Liberal, Socialist, Marxist or communist. I know that sounds hard, but unfortunately it is very true. We are in an Ideology war. And our nation is really depending on us. Ignore these smart-asses, they are trying to play you. Or better yet just hit the respond and use your favorite patriotic quote, over and over, that really pisses them off! Yea

I am 23 years old and pursuing a career in medicine. I know this country has been spending money it doesn't have for a while now, but by the time these damn democrats get the boot, our country is going to be so much further in debt that it will be impossible to get out. Gosh, I wish this administration would give it a rest and QUIT spending my future money!!!

@Dale Jeu: Where is that exactly in the Bible? You know the part about Jesus only loving rich people? Y'see I remember Jesus saying something about angels on the head of a pin before the rich got into heaven, but, I could be wrong. Where is it in the Bible?

@dale.......quit quoting Jesus......he worked as a carpenter, even though he was the Son of God. Even he wasn't above working for a days wage. Speak about what you know, or silence your ignorance.
