At 7:16 a.m., the Senate passed on a 60-39 party line vote a sweeping health care bill that will tighten insurance regulations, provide insurance for 31 million more Americans and cost $871 billion over the next decade.
"This is for my friend Ted Kennedy, aye," said Sen. Robert Byrd as he cast his vote.

Did Byrd dust off his old Klan robes for the vote?
I cannot wait for the next couple of elections!
Time to fire the shot heard round the world. Congress and the artificial president have declared war on America and her people!!!
Will this awaken the sheeple?
the old fool really stepped in it-- yeeah, it's good for the dead, especially the ones who got Rolls Royce treatment here.
It’s an historic moment...we are passing into a new government led economy. The Senate has just told the American people: screw you...we don’t care what you think...we know best.
Change that to:
BROKEN Senate passes health bill
This is war, you people.
I will be the first one to volunteer time and as much as I can afford in money. I think there is potential to draw more than enough participants to make it affordable on an individual level.
No joke, no sitting on our hands acting pissed off. Is it possible? Any experts available for comment ?
Guess they just turned grandma into a shovel ready project.
It is a sad day for the country, but do not lose hope. If this pos is finally passed and signed, many people in many states will then have Federal Standing. This will be placed on the Roberts SCOTUS Express, where it will be ruled as Unconstitutional.
In the mean time, the residents of Oklahama and Texas will vote on Constitutional Amendments to their State Constitutions that will render the law as not valid in those states.
So Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Yawn,
Catch American Idol Last Nite?
sarc
Well it looks like satan will be having a merry christmas.
NOt often mentioned are the millions of citizens and spouses over 65 who are still employed and whose employee/group insurance pays before Medicare - saving the Gubmint plan $millions (which our elected buzzards have squandered)
This program is just another scam to grab money from citizens for more fraud, waste & abuse in the system of socialism the Dems designed decades ago.
Great. Freepers in Red or Purple states with DEM Senators DO NOT FORGET THIS. Obama and the Dems will try and become moderate just in time for the 2010 election, don’t let them try.
Don’t wait for the RNC to take action or we will be exactly in this spot again. Take to the streets, editorial board and radio shows. We cannot afford do let another liberal to run this country.
Death of the republic. I no longer think we’re going to get our country back without bloodshed.
REVOLUTION TIME IS NOW
!!!!!!!!!!!
