The U.S. House passed a sweeping health care reform bill on the evening of November 7. President Obama says he is confident the Senate will pass the bill as well.

The Affordable Health Care for America Act, prevents insurance companies from denying coverage to anyone with a pre-existing condition or charging higher premiums based on gender or medical history. It also provides subsidies to those who cannot afford health insurance, and guarantees coverage for 96 percent of Americans, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

What do you think of the bill? Does it do enough to change the health care system in the U.S.? Do you think it will pass the Senate? Put yourself on video and share your thoughts.

The Vermont law legalizing same-sex marriage took effect starting September 1. Passed in April over the governor’s veto, it makes Vermont the fifth state to allow same-sex couples to marry.

With a few couples starting the month by getting married at the stroke of midnight, September is expected to be a big month for same-sex marriages in Vermont.

Are you in a same-sex marriage, or are you part of a same-sex couple planning to marry? Or have you attended a same-sex marriage ceremony?
