The House gave final approval on Wednesday to a bill extending health insurance to millions of low-income children, and President Obama signed it this afternoon, in the first of what he hopes will be many steps to guarantee coverage for all Americans.
There were forty republican voting for the bill and 2 Democrats voting against it. Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the tally as 290 to 135.
The former President George W. Bush had opposed it would lead to “government-run health care for every American.” But The Obama White House, worn out by a disaster over Tom Daschle’s nomination to be secretary of health and human services, revel in the passage of the bill as it showed how much difference an election could make.
The chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee and the Representative of California Democrat Henry A. Waxman said, “While this bill is short of our ultimate goal of health reform, it is a down payment, and is an essential start.”
