This afternoon at 1:36 pm, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a bill that would reverse and extend all cancelled privatehealth care plans.

Five million insured have already received cancellation notices under a regulation of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act (ACA).

About fifteen million private health insurance policies were in effect prior to the disastrous October 1^st enrollment rollout of the ACA.

The final tally to renew private plans and to permit the sale of new ones passed by a vote of 261 to 157, a margin of 104, or 66% above votes recorded in the negative.

The not-so-surprising outcome is that while the GOP count was 222 in favor, 39 Democrats joined the Republicans.  The House bill will now go to the U.S. Senate where it faces an unsure outcome.
