Finally the Health Care Bill

Finally it is a done deal. The Senate today passed the Health Care bill of its own. Now it will have to reconcile the bill with the House version (which contains the public option). Now we will see what all the hoopla was all about. The bill was passed with all the Democrats on one side and all the Republicans on the other side. It was a shame that it

The bill did not pass with the bipartisan support that the senate wanted, but that is what democracy is all about. But I believe that nobody on either side tried their best to explain why this one sided bill had to pass. Was it that bad that the Republicans opposed it by tooth and nail, and was it that the Democrats wanted to pass the bill no matter what the final outcome was? These are the questions only time will tell.

When all is said and done, we will see how much it will cost the tax payers and who are the losers and winners in this Bill. But for now the democrats should relish in their victory and the Republican should mourn the defeat that they should have been expecting given the minority status that they have in the house and the Senate and the failure of them to not convince enough democrats to back their side.
