Health Care Reform Bill Passed!
The Health Care Reform Bill has passed everyone! Republicans voted unanimously against it, but Democrats pulled through with a 219-212 vote. The bill is predicted to cost over $940 billion within the next two years. It will extend coverage to over 32 million, ban the refusal on the basis of pre-existing conditions, and cut deficits immensely. Children will be covered until the age of 26, three years longer than now. The bill is being called our time's civil rights bill.
