I was reading in the Battalion today and I came across an article titled "Health care bill passes in House" this article was released by the Associated Press and contained an update on the proposed health care bill. As the title suggests the bill was passed by the House of Representatives, but it does not appear that it will make it beyond the Senate. In order to be ratified the bill must gain 60 votes to even be discussed and 120 votes to bypass debate and be put into action. The chances of this bill receiving even 60 votes in the senate are not good. As of now it does not appear that the currently proposed bill will be America's new health care plan and the legislators will be forced to start again to reform health care.

  1. It really is starting to get monotonous hearing about "X bill passes in the ___" and then "X bill does not pass ___" over and over again. It's just a back and forth battle, it's not getting anywhere, at least in health care.

    It seems as though no one in Washington can really agree on anything in this matter.
