U.S. House Just Voted "Yea" On Health Care
Around 8:07pm, there were 218 yea votes recorded on the House's health care vote. This vote gives the overhaul much more momentum.
The House bill translates into...a public insurance option and no more pre-existing conditions that block insurance.
Actually this health care overhaul is only partly done now. We have to wait on a Senate's bill, and then whatever the House and Senate get to the U.S. President's desk later.
Still it's interesting to see this pass...as a true squeaker. The vote was gavelled at 8:15pm by Nancy Pelosi:
- Democrats - 219 yea votes, 29 nay votes
- Republicans - 1 yea vote, 176 nay votes
Should be interesting to watch all the politicians and talking heads now.
