ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- After an all-day clash between Democrats and Republicans, the House voted 220 to 215 Saturday to approve a health care plan that would cost $1.1 trillion over 10 years.
Democrats say the plan would provide relief to Americans struggling to buy or retain health insurance. They were forced to make major concessions to attract final votes for the bill and secure its passage, including an amendment that prevents the plan from covering abortions.
