Health Care Vote Today

Historic vote on health care today, Sunday, March 21, 2010. For the record:
- Final vote: 219-212 "Passed"
- See Republican Leader Boehner's impassioned "Hell No" statements on the House floor at Breitbart TV.
- FOX:House Votes to Pass Health Care Bill , Send 'Fixes' Back to Senate.

- NYT prescriptions/Live Blogging the House Vote.

Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, holding a huge gavel and, surrounded by Democrats supporting the health care bill, walked past Tea Party protesters to intimate they had the votes to pass the bill. This act was tantamount to saying, "Up yours!" She appears to have enjoyed the moment. There were other routes she could have taken.

This was a horrible day for America!

Looking back to the 2008 primary race, Obama promised not to force people to buy health insurance (Hat tip: The Greyfalcon's Blog). See video...
