The New Powerhouse



By Steve Gida

After over a year of partisan debate, President Obama's top domestic policy- the Health Care overhaul, passed the House of Representatives on a 219-212, followed by the passage of the Reconciliation bill that fixes and removes special deals in the Senate bill, as well as sealing the Medicare donut hole, on a 220-211 vote. What can I say? I am just sighing out of relief that it is finally over, but glad that a new era of responsibility in our health care system has seen the light of life. Check out the live blog that followed the votes here.

-I thought this was a great topic to choose since this will effect everyone of us nationwide. It is important to be aware of what's going on around you.

-I thought it was easy to read and straight to the point.

(Arianna) I think this was a great topic to choose because it one of the biggest things to happen so far this year and it is affecting so many people.

It was interesting to read because as hard as I try i'm terrible with politics and this helped me to understand the bill a little bit better.
