    House Democrats Pass Historic Health Care Bill But The Fight Isn't Over

    By Liberty1955  |  Posted March 22, 2010  |  Watertown, New York
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     'After 22 years of fighting health insurance companies, me and my daughter have vindication,' says Liberty1955, whose daughter was born premature. But he says the fight is far from over. 'You know what's going to happen now...the insurance companies will begin to cut people who are sick as quickly as they can before the window of opportunity is over.'
    - rachel8, CNN iReport producer

    The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Historic Health Care Reform Bill tonight! Congratulations to Nancy Pelosi, Bart Stupak, House Democrats and President Obama on their courage, conviction, and tenacity to push through the most meaningful legislation since the Civil Rights Bill was passed in this country.

     

    The fight has just begun. Insurance companies will immediately begin cutting people with a history of illness and raising premiums so they can get ahead of this law as did the banks on the credit card reform.

     

    I hope Congress sees the necessity of expanding Medicare to younger Americans and a public insurance program as competition to insurance companies to counter this anticipated move.
