Late, last night, the House passed the 1,990-page, $1.2 trillion legislation, called Health Care reform.
Only one Republican betrayed the party. His name is Representative Joseph Cao 4640 S Carrollton Ave # 120, New Orleans, LA (504) 483-2325. All other members of the party voted "no."

Hopefully, this will not get passed in the Senate. It is concerning that it has come this far however. The bill, from what I heard this morning on the radio, does have some clause that will not allow for abortions. I guess that's the silver lining?
I am deeply concerned about this bill and more concerned about Republicans passing something that would be considered, "bipartisan." It is time for the country to stand up and be firm and let the federal government know that we don't want them running our health care system!
From what I have read in the bill, within the next few years, as it is written, states that having a private plan will be illegal! Now, how can the democrats say this is about providing another option, when they know damn well this is about getting rid of all private medical coverage?
