House Passes Obama's Healthcare Reform Bill

The House of Representatives passed a sweeping health care bill Saturday night with a tight vote of 220-215, making it the biggest expansion of health care coverage since Medicare was created more than 40 years ago.

The Affordable Health Care for America Act, or H.R. 3962, restricts insurance companies from denying coverage to anyone with a pre-existing condition or charging higher premiums based on gender or medical history. It also provides federal subsidies to those who cannot afford it and guarantees coverage for 96 percent of Americans, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

Your argument against the new health care law is that it doesn't address law suit reform that affects less than 1% of the annual health care costs, including all settlements, and lawyers fees. Well, if you want to oppose any Democratic patient's rights bills that protect the patient from doctors that are incompetent, and reward them for cutting off the wrong leg, or killing you on the operation table, be my guest. Never file a lawsuit. Case solved. That was easy.

It is clear as it has ever been that the GOP (who's approval number are STILL at record LOWS) will stand firm for the interests of the top 2% in America and all others be damned, and by the way... TEA PARTIES ARE FOR LITTLE GIRLS!!!!!

There is no "free" healthcare in this bill, but that's what happens when you get your "facts" from turds like Glenn beck.
