NO MANDATE FOR OBAMA HEALTH BILL

House Speaker Pelosi was only able to muster 220 votes for the Obama Trillion Dollar Health Care Legislation as some Democrats voted with Republicans, 220-215.

Now the battle over who should control one's health-------the government or the individual-----will be carried to the US Senate where it is not expected to be approved.

Even with this approval by the Pelosi House of Representatives the new USA House of Representatives elected in 2010 is free to enact changes including the abolishing of the current House legislation as balance power shifts to a moderate to conservative Congress rejecting the socialism of the current Pelosi House of Representatives.
