Your link says:
218 Republicans voted for, 159 Democrats voted against.
So a few Democrats and Republicans breaking ranks does not make this bipartisan. Clearly this is a deeply partisan issue.
You also forget to mention that not one single bill can be voted on unless the Speaker of the House, Republican John Boehner, says it can be voted on.
So, how is this bipartisan again? It was a Republican bill, passed with a Republican majority. Welcome to politics.
