House Passes Health Care Reform

After a long day of dealing and debate, the Democrats passed health care reform by a slim vote of 219 to 212.

President Barack Obama will soon sign the bill, which will become law, and the House and Senate will go back to work on a few fixes.

Update: The House passed the reconciliation package 220-211. Now it’s up to the Senate. The president is expected to sign the bill Tuesday.
