WASHINGTON — The Democratic-controlled Congress has approved historic legislation extending health care to tens of millions of Americans who lack it and cracking down on insurance company abuses.

The vote in the House was 219-212. Republicans were unanimously opposed. The bill now goes to President Barack Obama for his signature.

The action late Sunday capped a yearlong quest by Obama and Democrats to overhaul the system and reshape a sixth of the economy.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

"We will be joining those who established Social Security, Medicare and now, tonight, health care for all Americans," said Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., as the vote neared.

Rep. Louise Slaughter of New York read a message President Franklin Roosevelt sent Congress in 1939 urging lawmakers to address the needs of those without health care, and said Democrat Harry Truman and Republican Richard Nixon had also sought to broaden insurance coverage.

Yep. It's historic. It's going to be even more historic when those 37 States that have already lined up to send this crap to the Supreme Court get their say before the folks who are supposed to up hold the Constitution. I think Congress has problems reading long documents - especially the Constitution.

Nothing frivolous about challenging the Constitutionality of a retarded law.

Historic.

For once, I agree with you. This is historic. Not in the way you are thinking, but it is historic nonetheless.

forget the partisan threads about what it all means. Especially from all of us who have not read the bill.

You're happy about a bill you haven't read? You are happy that Congress passed it without reading it?

You are one person that no sane person will ever understand.

God bless America.

I agree. He is the only one who can save us now.

So you are stating that the Federal Government violating the Constitution is a frivolous matter?

You do understand that we now live in a totalitarian state because we have ignored it don't you?
