WASHINGTON D.C. (TNCweb) | The lower house of the United States has passed President Obama’s healthcare in a partisan line with all Republicans and 34 Democrats voting against the bill. Final Tally: Yea 219-212 Nay The bill would alter the American health system, but will increase taxes by a reported $940 billion. Most effects of this bill may not be felt until 2014. The bill is not final yet as the U.S. Senate must also vote on this bill. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and President Obama has been accused of making backroom deals, such as the Executive Order to ban abortion funding to get Conservative Democrats to vote on it.
