One Step Closer: The House Passed the Health Care Bill

What seemed to be a major hurdle for President Obama and the rest of the nations has been taken one step closer to the finish line. The House of Representative passed the Health Care reform bill last weekend with the majority vote being 220-215. With 39 Democrats opposing the Bill and only 1 Republican supporting this vote was one of great progress and valor!

This movement toward change in the health care system will be the biggest expansion since the formation of Medicaid 40 years ago!

The Affordable Health Care for America Act will overhaul the health care system by denying insurance comapnies the right to turn away their coverage to anyone who may have pre-existing conditions or charging higher premiums to individuals based on gender or medical history. The Act will also provide provisions and subsidies to those who are not able to afford health care and guarentees coverage for 96% of Americans!

This is great news and now the ball is in the Senate's Court. Hopefully the opposition will not overshadow the House's progressiveness...

FABULOUS BROWN GIRL knows that this is a historic chapter in our lives. Our President said that he was going to bring change to the Washington, and I don't know about you but an expansion that is 40 years overdue in our health care system can definitely be characterized as change to us!

So everybody who has been looking for CHANGE, get ready!!
