BREAKING NEWS - The Democratic-controlled House has passed historic health care legislation to provide medical coverage to millions more Americans.
Most Americans would be required to carry insurance and large employers would be obliged to cover their employees.
Earlier, the bill passed a major hurdle as an amendment was approved that would further restrict federal money going to abortions.
The 240-194 vote was a blow to liberals who would let the Obama administration decide whether to cover abortions in a government-provided insurance plan. Sixty-four Democrats joined 176 Republicans in favor of the prohibition.
