Health care passes House of Representatives

It is 11:40 p.m. Eastern time and Democrat Nancy Pelosi is holding a press conference surrounded by Democrats with smug looks on their faces after passing the health care monstrosity 220-215. As they slap each other on the backs and congratulate themselves on being part of what will bankrupt America, the words, "Be afraid ... be very afraid," come to mind.

From the New York Daily News:
The biggest overhaul of America's medical system since Medicare passed with a tight vote in the House of Representatives Saturday night.

The bill passed with a vote of 220 to 215, with only one single Republican - Joseph Cao from Louisana - choose "Yea."

The health reform bill included a controversial amendment to restrict coverage of abortion.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was forced to bring up the abortion amendment after a deal with conservative Democrats collapsed and they threatened to sink the whole bill.

The move enraged liberals, but most agreed to stay onboard and President Obama traveled to the House to make a personal appeal and seal the deal.
I fear for America at this time.
