Health Reform-The Dream Shall Never Die
Just less than an hour ago, the Senate passed the most significant health legislation in the last ten years. This is an extra ordinary achievement for a body that at times, can become so entrenched in serving it’s own interests. With the attitude of “deny, delay and obstruct” by the minority, this round of debates was no exception to that trend. Last night, millions of Americans went to bed with the weight of fear and insecurity on their shoulders. On this Christmas Eve morning, that weight is just a little bit lighter.
Many across the land have been and contnue to be opposed to any tinkering of the current health system structure. While the passage of this Senate bill is in no way an end-all resolution for the many ills of our current system, it certainly represents a hugh step in the right direction. This mornings vote, in conjunction with the recent passage of the House bill, shows that progress is not impossible.
After at least 40 years of standing still, or even regressing in other years, it is now possible to do something definitive to prevent the deaths of 45, 000 Americans each year. I am betting that invariably both the House and Senate will do the right thing. We can no longer continue the failures of our recent history.
The cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die.
