Today America wins, and the fear mongers, liars, and hypocrites don't. The Democratic health care initiative passed Congress this weekend. Whether you like it or not, it's one of the major pieces of legislation to come out of Congress in the last hundred years. It will change the way health care is delivered in America forever. Not a single Republican voted for it.
Life would be so much smoother in if the Republican Party didn’t come across as an angry mob. At the beginning of this process they made a strategic decision, republicans would make no deal with the administration. There would be no negotiations, no compromise, nothing. If they couldn’t have it their way, then they would try to make sure no one had anything.
This is a huge political victory, and it calls for some celebration. Roughly 30 million people will now have some form of health care who didn’t have it before. Premiums should by logic, go down for those already covered. Insurance companies can't deny people based on pre-existing conditions or abandon patients in need. Those are huge victories.
