President Obama praised the House yesterday for narrowly passing his healthcare bill. The count was extremely close - 220 to 215 with only one Republican voting yes. The $1.2 trillion bill is aimed at expanding coverage to 36 million uninsured Americans and the plan will also cut spending by $400 billion over the course of a decade. Take a couple of minutes to view the coverage by CBS News below.
