House Passes Obama Care.

So the House passed Obamacare, big suprise there. Look, everybody's making a big what to do over nothing. This was the most probable result to come out of the House and it wasn't even as close as you might think, it only passed 220 to 215 and may not have passed if Bart Stupaks (D-MICH) abortion amendment, which puts stricter language in the Bill to bar federal funding of abortions, wasn't placed in the bill. Most Dems argued that language was already in the bill to restrict federal funding of abortions and fought hard against the new amendment. Anybody with a brain, however, would conclude that if language was already in the bill to bar abortion funding, then it wouldn't matter if clearer language was in place and they'd just pass the amendment without argument; but that's a different rant. Anyway, don't freak out. This bill barely passed in the house and I don't think it has a prayer of passing the Senate with a public option. Woosah people, woosah.
