美众议院通过医疗改革法案
This House focus on health care is a huge victory for president Obama after he made a personal appeal Saturday to House Demcrates on Capital Hill to get legislation passed. At the president in the written statement shortly after the vote, said:＂Tonight, in an historic vote, the House of Representatives passed a bill that would finally make real the promise of quality, affordable health care for the American people.＂
But the statement also alludes to its challenges ahead. President goes on to say:＂Thanks to the hard work of the House. We are just two steps away from achieving health insurance reform in America. Now the United States Senate must follow suit and pass its version of lagislation and I'm absolutely confident it will and I look forward to signing comprehensive health insurance reform into law by the end of the year.＂
Now a senior aide adds the president did watch the vote as it happened in the House there from Camp David. President Obama by the way said he'd return to the White House from Camp David Sunday afternoon.
