U.S. President Barack Obama addresses a press conference after the U.S. House of Representatives passed the comprehensive health care reform legislation.

Americans harbor mixed feelings about Sunday's sweeping health care reforms, with many voicing opposition to the landmark legislation and a nearly equal number expressing approval.

After a year of political wrangling as Congressional Democrats struggled to secure the votes necessary to pass the health care reform, a bill passed late Sunday night by a slim majority of 219 to 212.

The controversial new law, which lawmakers said will extend health insurance benefits to more than 30 million uninsured Americans, will soon arrive at the White House for the president's signature.
