Health Care Almost Passed

Senate Democrats are almost ready to pass the health care bill. They need all 60 votes to pass the health legislation. Independent Senator Joe Lieberman is almost ready to vote for this health care, as are other less liberal Democrats who didn't agree with the more progressive ideas of the public option, federally funded abortions, among other things. Democrats are getting ready to vote for it, and they will need the votes of the independent Senators to pass this bill. Republicans are still united against voting for this bill, and will most likely not vote for it. The bill is likely to be voted on by Christmas.

My opinion: I feel that the insurance companies do need some reforming, however, I do not agree with government mandated health care. I feel that private companies should provide health care, and that too much government intervention is not a good thing. This health care bill is too expensive. I hope Republicans stick together and vote against it.
