House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is joined by  House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, left, and Rep. George Miller, D-Calif.,  on Saturday in Washington.

“The House of Representatives on Saturday passed, by a 220-215 vote, historic health care overhaul legislation that would require nearly all Americans to obtain health insurance and create a government-run health insurance plan to help them do so.” http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2009/nov/08/house-oks-health-bill/
