WAT

The US House of Representatives has backed a healthcare bill in a step towards reforms promised by President Obama, despite strong opposition.

Terrible.. really can't they see that the Single-Payer bill is better?

I believe that the House you are speaking of is the 258 Democrats in Congress. Considering every 177 Republican Congressmen/women except for one has stated strong opposition,

And America is now irrevocably screwed, yay.

People need to realize that Socialists are as opposed to this bill as the Right.. Seems much of the support as well as the opposition of this bill is due to a perceived "Socialist" intent while in the end it does little but help private companies make more cash.

Actually most socialists support this bill.. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill...bill=h111-1200 neither Obama's nor this bill are truly Socialized healthcare however, due to the fact that the providers would not be employed by the government.

Sadly the people in her district are largest bunch of morons this side of people who watch 700 Club. Only way to get her out of office is to redraw her district map

I don't really know American politics, but doesn't this need to go through another legislature, like the senate, before its law?

What are the chances it fails there?

I haven't been following but I doubt there's much of a chance being they have just as much a majority in the senate too.
