WASHINGTON - The biggest overhaul of America's medical system since Medicare passed with a tight vote in the House of Representatives Saturday night.
The bill passed with a vote of 220 to 215, with only one single Republican - Joseph Cao from Louisana - choose "Yea."
The health reform bill included a controversial amendment to restrict coverage of abortion.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was forced to bring up the abortion amendment after a deal with conservative Democrats collapsed and they threatened to sink the whole bill.
