Democrats celebrate their legislative victory over the will of the American People
President Barack Obama’s yearlong health care overhaul drama featured dozens of speeches,contentious debate and a televised summit with lawmakers before a divided Congress passed the bill. An elaborate White House signing ceremony kicks off the next act:selling the sweeping changes to a skeptical public.
House and Senate Democrats who backed the bill as well as lesser-known people whose health care struggles have touched Obama were expected to join him Tuesday for the ceremony in the East Room. Afterward,Obama and much of that audience were heading to the Interior Department for an even larger celebration.
Act II begins Thursday when Obama visits Iowa City,Iowa,where as a presidential candidate he announced his health care plan in May 2007,to talk about how it will help lower health care costs for small businesses and families.
The House late Sunday voted 219-212 –no Republicans voted in favor –to send the 10-year,$938 billion bill to Obama. The measure,which the Senate passed in December,eventually will extend coverage to 32 million uninsured Americans,reduce federal budget deficits and ban such insurance company practices as denying coverage to people with existing medical problems.
A companion measure sought by House Democrats to make a series of changes to the main bill was approved 220-211. It goes to the Senate,where debate could begin as early as Tuesday. Majority Leader Harry Reid,D-Nev.,says he has the votes to pass it –though only under special budget rules requiring just a simple majority vote.

Are you people angry enough to fight for our freedom yet? If you are not willing to fight these people by whatever means required then please shut up and receive what you appear to so willing to accept. Freedom has never been free,there has a lways been a very high price paid,as any veteran. We are at war with our own evil and corrupt government. So put up or shut up. Talk accomplishes nothing,action accomplishes everything.
Pelosi better close her mouth–her upper plate is about to fall out.
This whole gang should be in jail for violating their oaths of office of serving the people. The people were and still are against this travesty. The illegal president needs to be impeached,the wicked witch of the west and dirty harry and their cohorts in crime need to be voted out in the next election,unless we can get rid of them sooner.
The laugh will be on them one of these days.
