Speaking as someone who has Universal Health Care and truly believes in it, all I can say is it's a start and it's truly a miracle that you got this far.
The problem will now be the Senate, which if I understand it correctly requires 60 senators out of 100 to vote FOR the legislation. This will be next to impossible since many of the Democrat Senators are more like Republicans than Democrats. (They are this way in order to get elected in their state I would guess.)
This will truly be an uphill battle for Obama, however, he is probably better able to twist some arms amoung the Democratic Senators.
Expect more watering down to come frankly.
It's kind of ironic that the debate on the issue of providing health care for its citizens has been as exhausting as it was, but the debate to spend 3 trillion dollars on invading Iraq took a few days.
