The timetable on healthcare reform has taken 40 years. It's about time for a start on healthcare reform in this country. This is a tremendous advancement for our country, starting to place us up with the rest of the first world countries on health care - finally.
Every American - person - arrested in this country is entitled to a lawyer, which we - the public - pays for if the arrested can not. I think Americans being entitled to a doctor is more important.
People have pointed out how civil rights legislation, medicare - all the major social reforms have started, then been tweeked over time. This is the same.
But this is the start. We won't leave 15% of our population to flounder any more.

Well you finally said something correct. The other 85% can begin to flounder right alongside those 15%. Your problem is your determination to make this bill or others floated out (you have been behind everyone proposed despite huge differences in the proposals) to be the best possible healthcare reform when it clearly is terribly flawed. The healthcare issue was made the big priority simply because Obama, Pelosi and Reid wanted to be the three new faces on the liberal Mt Rushmore. Perhaps if you found one issue within the bill that you took issue with we wouldnt consider you simply a shill for Obama. But that is not likely.
