The House of Representatives, under Speaker Nancy Pelosi, passed historic health care reform late Sunday night. That's a fact. Also a fact is that the bill is far from perfect, and legislators from all sides will be working to shape the bill more to their liking. Progressives regret the lack of a public option, let alone single payer, and the use of women's reproductive choice as a political football in the negotiations--Obama was forced into an executive order reaffirming the Hyde Amendment's commitment not to use federal dollars for abortions.

But what does it all mean? Will the protests die down, or just get worse? What can we do to get REAL change we can believe in, with a country this polarized? Laura asks Chip Berlet, an expert on right-wing populism and senior analyst with Political Research Associates, and Nina Agrawal, pediatrician and director of community outreach with the National Physicians Alliance.

The flawed health care bill that finally made it through Congress might show the limitations of democracy in the U.S., but Gary Younge, correspondent for the Guardian and the Nation, assures us that it's worse in Europe.

Gary joins Laura to talk about Greece, England, the rise of fascist parties across Europe--and how it all relates to our own tea party movement.

With all the news over health care reform's passage, the beginning of the eighth year of the war in Iraq seems to have slipped out of the headlines. But over the weekend, antiwar protesters took to the street across the U.S.

Rod Laughridge sent us this video from one protest in San Francisco. Don't forget, if you're making video where you live, we'd love to see it and maybe even play it in the show!

Finally, Laura remarks on what she learned through the weekend in health care reform news.
