House Health Reform Bill Deserves to Be Approved
RealClearPolitics - Homepage — ... by House Democratic leaders. The bill would greatly expand coverage of the uninsured while reducing budget deficits over the next decade and probably beyond.

It is history, even, though it’s hard to sense the importance of the moment when you watch members of Congress spend the day squabbling over the true meaning of the word freedom. Here it is, all 1,990 pages of it. It was passed by five votes (220-215). Here is H.R. ...
