Bipartisanship requires concessions and sacrifices by both sides. The GOP was completely unwilling to make any. The Democrats had no choice but to move on without them.
-
Humm...hard to call it bipartisan if 39 democrats voted NAY and just one republican voted YEA.
It passed only by 2 votes over what was needed to pass. That's 1% . Pretty close call . It is unlikely the bill will pass in the Senate.

Yes I know! profit margins for the insurance industry where a whopping 4% last year. Hopefully next year they wont have any profit and we the people can claim what is ours.
-
If we drop in quality that will be ok, at least everyone will have care.
-
Just as good as the VA, Tricare and Medicare! I cant wait!
-
Now what needs to be done is streamline insurance. Much like the chips put in pets should be put in people so we have our medical records instantly available. The provision of sec 3.244 is a good start for this. Finally we have a means to control cost and ensure all citizens are forced to have care and their records.
-
Those who need it should have it -- those who have private insurance should not be forced to rely on government.
-
Wish it could start right now until of waiting for years!

Who was the one GOPer with testicular fortitude?
Also, I see 39 Liebermans need a talking to. (A Lieberman is the new Benedict Arnold).
Kudos to Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer and James Clyburn, job well done.
