After decades of unresolved health care reform issues, a solution has been reached. As of March 20, The House of Representatives passed a historic health care reform bill, changing the aspect of health care in America forever.
President Obama’s purposed health care bill passed by a slim margin, 219-212, and was opposed by both Republicans and Democrats.
According to CNN.com, “All 177 Republicans opposed it, along with 34 Democrats.”
As of today, President Obama signed the bill into law, meaning that many Americans will see change immediately.
The Los Angeles Times reported that the health care legislation reform bill affects over 30 million uninsured people in America. It will be required for most American citizens to be insured, or face a monetary penalty. The bill will also allow citizens with pre-existing conditions access to insurance.
President Obama voiced his opinion about the successful passage of the health care reform legislation to The Los Angeles Times.
“Today, after almost a century of trying, today, after over a year of debate, today, after all the votes have been tallied, healthcare insurance reform becomes law in the United States of America.”

what a fantastic put up, wow.
Our major issue in this country is our two political parties. Our forefathers knew that a two party system would be our downfall and took steps to try to stop this type of politics, and thus anyone who seriously thinks that politics isn’t corrupt or slaves to Corporate America hasn’t not been paying attention. George Jr. will go down in History as one of the worst administrations in history and I could go on for hours showing why, but my point is that the Obama administration has offered nothing different (besides health reform, granted) and has in fact continued nearly every single Bush program. Obama has almost the same political donors and thus has the same pressures as Bush did. Health reform will turn out to be the most expensive and destructive waste of tax payer money ever. I just wish I could offer a better alternative for other frustrated people, but I can’t and those that think that the tea partiers are the future, remember that Sarah Palin is an important figure to them.
I stumbled onto your blog and read a few post. I like your style of writing.

Would be really interesting to see your traffic spike if you had any stats enabled
A flat tax of 11% of ALL Americans would bring in more money to the government that they are bringing in today – but of course we would tick off a ton of liberals who now reside in their parents’ basements. But at this point if something is not done to reign in spending and taxes we will all be living there.
I will definately offer

What matters me most about the Government plan is this section about pre-existing conditions… Is there any vocabulary in the bill about wether or not there is a cap on what insurance companies can require if you have a pre-existing ailment?
