Per CNN, The United States Senate Finance Committee passed a health care reform bill on Tuesday, but President Barack Obama said more must be done to get it right.

“It’s time to dig in and work even harder to get this done,” said Obama of the progress of the health care reform bill. The Senate passed the health care legislation 14-9.

As it was reported earlier in the day, Maine Republican Senator Olympia Snowe voted to support the health reform bill and President Obama thanked her and the rest of the committee for “plowing forward” on an “extraordinary complicated” issue.

People on both sides of the political spectrum expressed their feelings about the bill through Twitter
