RECONCILIATION IS PASSED!

[WeDidIt]

Obama signs it into law and HCR is a done deal. The Senate kept their word to the House. The House just passed it.

Now the work of building on the foundation can begin.

[coti]

1. Did the House pass it again? nt

[WeDidIt]

4. Yep, in the last minute of Countdown.

Now the real work begins.

[xultar]

2. WOO HOO Waterloo...

[tekisui]

3. The sausage is made.

[malaise]

5. Congrats to all Dems - this is history

[deminks]

6. Done deal.

And the dems stayed together for the most part. That was amazing to me.

[stray cat]

7. Hell yes they did!

[bdamomma]

19. they finally found their spines .......and the repigs are toast

[seabeyond]

9. Lawrence O'Donnell just now: "I cried watching C-Span

this afternoon."

[mucifer]

12. I thought he hated the bill

[stray cat]

16. maybe like most DUers he wanted more? But its still a first step

[caty]

10. Great!

Maybe I can relax a little now. I've been holding my breath waiting for this day.

:fistbump:

Now if things would just settle down with all those crazies out there.

11. Now an ill person with an abusive spouse can leave the marriage and still have health care

They no longer have to choose whether to stay with an abuser or leave and die in pain without medication or health care

13. WOOT WOOT!!! My assistant gets back onto her parents' excellent policy as soon as the law allows!!!

(she is 24, has an inherited PEC with serious lifelong ramifications and her current policy is $350/mo and pays very little)

[WilliamPitt]

14. Epic.

:toast:

[Kingofalldems]

15. Freepers! You lose. Again.

Please don't trash your Mom's basement.

[stray cat]

17. actually they may win along with the rest of us when it comes to benefits

[Kingofalldems]

21. True, but they will never admit it.

[bdamomma]

26. never.

[bdamomma]

24. what did they say to us democrats was it move on?

that is what they should do, sick ass people resorting to vandalism, and throwing bricks and threatening people.

[bigmonkey]

31. I think it was "Get over it!"

Might be wrong, but that's the way I remember it. "We won. Get over it."

[bdamomma]

18. and the party of no is toast. ha!

[Cleita]

20. Also, listening to Randi this afternoon, it seems they are going

to seriously look into adding a public option in a few months. Keep your fingers crossed.

[tallahasseedem]

22. Yes We Can!

:D

[jpak]

23. KILL THE BILL!!!!1111

oops

nevermind

:evilgrin:

[mdmc]

25. even this fuckin retard understands that

[Faygo Kid]

27. I'm rather stunned. I have worked on this for over a year.

It has been a long, hard slog. No, the bill isn't perfect. But we not only laid a base for universal health care in this country, we gave the American people some pretty damned good provisions.

And destroyed the GOP as it exists now. The party of Fox and Rush has suffered a severe blow.

All in all, a very good night.

[NecklyTyler]

28. Yeah

[Texasgal]

29. Thank you OMD.

I appreciate it! :)

[spanone]

30. it's a done deal without a shred of support from the dark side
