After a landmark win in the House of Representatives, President Barack Obama's push for healthcare reform faces a difficult path in the Senate amid divisions in his own Democratic Party on how to proceed.

On a 220-215 vote, including the support of one Republican and opposition from 39 Democrats, the House backed a bill late on Saturday that would expand coverage to nearly all Americans and bar insurance practices such as refusing to cover people with pre-existing medical conditions.

The battle now shifts to the Senate, where work on Obama's top domestic priority has been stalled for weeks as Democratic leader Harry Reid searches for an approach that can win the 60 votes he needs to overcome Republican procedural hurdles.

  • hopefully its DOA. take out the bad things like, adding trillions to the debt, the tax increases to small business and everyone, higher individual cost, being forced to buy it or potetnially see prison time, paying for abortions, paying for non US citizens health, cutting medicare for seniors, and the biggest negative is the limiting of care that caps tests, age restricitons and many things. keep in the good things like no precondiotions. add things like ending the anti-trust act.
