Health Care Reform passes the House

While I was writing the last article, the House was voting on their Health Care proposal. In a slim 220 to 215 vote, the House bill was passed and now waits to be joined with whatever version comes out of the Senate. The vote fell along party lines, with one Republican and 39 Democrats crossing over. The lone Republican, Joseph Cao from Louisiana, was projected to break ranks due to his vulnerability since he represents an overwhelmingly Democratic district.

Now we just have to wait to see what the Senate has to offer.
