"It's only nine o'clock on my watch." Those were the words of Speaker Pelosi after the vote to the Reconciliation Bill.

I found it more than interesting that the Speaker keeps her wrist watch on California time. That is a pure affection for the people she represents.

Why include education in the bill? I haven't heard a good reason yet. No one knows? It makes perfect sense to me and is directly related to Health Care Reform.

Why pass a bill that educates its health care professionals and workers while handing them over to a dysfunctional loan program? There is a lot of money to nurture new physicians, nurse practitioners and others in the Health Reform Bill. Why not bring it all home in one package? Good job.



The United States House of Representatives passed the Health Care Reform Act of 2010 at 10:45 PM EST.

It then passed the Reconciliation Act to the Health Care Reform Act of 2010 within the hour that followed.

Both bills passed with a clear majority.

The Lady Speaker was on the floor for the Reconciliation Act passage and announced the historic moment and for the second time, THE SECOND TIME a bill was passed to benefit the American people. It was a clear and decisive victory for the citizens of the USA after a struggle that started with a documentary.

I congratulate Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader Steney Hoyer, House Majority Whip James Clyburn and all those that were unafraid to do the right and best thing for the American people.

Only 220 Americans had the privilege to vote for a bill to save the lives of millions and only one documentarian cared enough to see the need.

It was a great and historic moment for the country and we could not have secured it without the Minority President so dedicated to make it happen.

Thank you from a grateful nation.

On every media service I watched afterward there was admiration and respect for the moment. I did say every media service and I mean it.

Congratulations America, you voted for a moment to be proud of that started with the 2006 elections. There should not be one regret.
