BBC News: Today the Health Care bill is being heard in the House of Representatives. The New York Times reported that President Obama has secured 205 votes and was negotiating another 13 last night and into the morning via meetings and phone calls. There is confidence in the Democratic Party that the bill will be passed despite total Republican opposition of the bill. House speak Nanci Pelosi went as far as to say that "We will pass health care reform".
If both legislative bodies pass a form of the bill, there will be reconciliation and then the bill will go to President Obama to be approved as a law.
To view a simplified version of the bill, or the whole thing go here.
