House of Representatives Passes Health Care Reform Bill

This blog is for real estate and I intend to keep it that way. I don’t intend to turn it into a political blog but since our government is making decisions that affect the real estate industry, I’m finding that to keep you up-to-date on the real estate industry, I should advise you of those changes that impact your ability to own and keep your home long-term. I like to read “both sides” so I can be a better informed citizen.

Last night, the House passed a Health Care Reform bill. This morning there has been much discussion on Facebook and Twitter about the good or bad of the bill. I’m still trying to sort it out and determine how it will affect me. Maybe you’re trying to do the same thing.

So far, I’ve found a couple links … I’m sure there will be more, and as I find them I’ll add them here.

Here is an interactive map from the New York Times of how the Representatives voted by state. You can click over the map to see how your representative voted.

Here is a Wall Street Journal summary of some key points to the bill. Read through it to decide how it will affect your own life.
