"Fixed" bill clears the Senate

The United States Senate has passed a slightly altered version of the heathcare bill, and it will go on to the House for final approval. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said that the Democrats have the votes to pass the measure, which will then go to President Obama to be signed into law. The bill, which passed with a 56-43 vote, makes small changes to the bill President Obama signed into law on Tuesday, including removing two small student loan funding stipulations.
I have to say, the passing of the healthcare reform bills has happened rather suddenly, I think. I remember blogging about how President Obama wishes for the reforms to be passed by Christmas, and then how that didn't happen. I, personally, haven't heard much about the bills in the months since then, and then all of a sudden, we have new healthcare laws!
