Yes it did pass, and it was subsequently upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. Some parts of the Healthcare bill (the "Affordable Care Act") went into effect right away, and other parts are being phased in gradually.
Yes, it did, and it was also upheld by the Supreme Court. It is based on the Massachusetts plan created by Mitt Romney, back when he was governor of that state; that plan too was constitutional.
The previous person in that seat, Ted Kennedy, was a huge supporter of health care reform. With out Ted Kennedy in that seat or at least a major supporter of the health care bill it is likely the bill will not pass because the democrats will no longer have the support they need.
Obama has predicted it will die on Capitol Hill. No it will not pass.
The health care bill did pass, was signed by the president, and in mid-2012, the Supreme Court ruled that it was in fact constitutional.

yes

March 2010... and hopefully repealed by March 2011
No, zero Republicans voted for this bill in the Senate.
Senate Republicans want step-by-step solutions that reduce health care costs but don't require large bills and a Washington take over of the health care system.
Depending on which bill you mean, the Affordable Care Act of 2009 was passed in early 2010 and reconciled with the Health Care and Education Reconcilation Act by both houses. Health Care reform is thus law of the land. All other bills, including the one containing a public option, were striked from the schedule.
2 Republicans and 1 Independent
No, it was passed while the Democratic Party still controlled both Houses of Congress.
