In a post of BBC News, Monday, 22 March 2010
Basically, it is referring to the fact that a group or body of people has voted for something and that the outcome is not a majority or that the difference is very narrow.
As for your suggested version, I would change it slightly..."The US House of Representatives has narrowly passed a landmark healthcare reform bill at the heart of President Barrack Obama's agenda."
I hope that helps Minhthien! - Diana
