The U.S. health system in decades won approval on Capitol Hill late Sunday ( March 21 ). The House gave final passage to the Senate' s health legislation 219 - 212 voting.
President Barack Obama helped push it toward passage with a last minute promise to issue an executive order making clear that no money dispensed under the $ 940 billion bill would pay for abortions. That persuaded Republican Bart Stupak, a holdout Michigan Democrat, to vote yes and bring at least seven colleagues with him.
The legislation will extend health coverage to 32 million Americans now without insurance, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). It will mandate that almost every American carry health insurance.
The CBO also estimated that 95% of legal U.S. residents would have insurance by 2019, up from 83% today.

Hospitals, doctors, drug makers and the seniors group AARP (the American Association of Retired Persons) backed the overhaul, saying it will reduce the growth of health costs and make sure no one goes without care.

Tax increases needed to finance the program would hit a range of industries, from insurers to other services. Over the next decade $ 108 billion in new fees will fall on insurers, drug makers and medical device companies.
The President sign the new regulation on Tuesday, March 23.
