Health Care Bill Passes Through House

The Democrats have received a victory in their fight to pass the new Health Care Bill into law. The House of Representation narrowly passed the Bill with a vote of 220-215. The Democrats needed 218 votes to have the Bill be passed. There were 219 Democrats who voted for and 39 who voted against, as well as 1 Republican who voted for the Bill. The real difficulty comes now, the Senate also has to pass the Bill. If the Senate passes it then the Bill must be rewritten and voted for once again by both parts of Congress. Democrats cheered when the legislation was passed. The House has also passed an amendment to pending health care legislation that prohibits federal funds for abortion services in the public option. The only exceptions would be cases of rape, incest or if the mother's life is in danger.
In my opinion I am upset that the legislation was passed through the House. I am not in favor of the Health Care plan because I know that it won't do any good. The Republican National Committee released a statement that I am in total agreement with. They said, "... a government-run health care experiment that will increase families health care costs, increase the deficit, increase taxes on small businesses and the middle class, and cut Medicare". There plan will eventually bring more harm than good. I am glad that the the Bill barely passed because it means that there are almost as many against as for, which will mean that the Senate should also have a difficult time passing it. I hope that they can't. Another thing that I am happy with is the legislation that the government will not pay for abortions, with a few exceptions that I kind of agree with.
