Last Night, the House passed the Senate health care bill by a vote of 219-212. It will now be sent to the President for his signature. The Reconciliation bill, which also passed by a vote of 220-211, now heads to the Senate for debate.
Only after President Obama signs the health care bill can the Senate begin dealing with the reconciliation package.
According to Senate rules, members are allowed to offer unlimited amendments and challenges to the reconciled bill.
