Last night, the House of Representatives passed the changes to some language in the health care reform reconciliation package in a 220-207 vote. President Obama is expected to sign it into law next week. Lawmakers now have a two week recess and the Washington Post reports, "Lawmakers are leaving Washington on a rancorous note. Members of both parties seethed over the political response to threats of violence against a number of House Democrats, and senators belittled one another during amendment votes that lasted nearly 21 straight hours." Yay, democracy!
