Comments on: In honor of a Democratic House of Reps finally doing SOMETHING with their majority… http://www.forgottenbeatitudes.com/?p=935 One Quaker in search of meaning...and an oatmeal cookie.

If only the Senate can finish the job and go back to the house one more time we will be a giant step closer to the model of universal health care every other industrialized country takes for granted. It only took us a hundred years, although Nixon offered us a similar plan but Ted Kennedy killed it hoping to get something better. Bill Clinton tried his best but nothing happened until President Obama put it all on the line for the uninsured. Senator Kennedy went on to passionately fight for health care with a big regret for not accepting Nixon's deal. As Kennedy was very ill last year he came to Washington D.C. against his doctors advice to cast the deciding vote on a Medicare bill. He put the health needs of America's seniors ahead of his own well being and made the trip. Now we need to tell our Senators and the 40 some pro choice members of congress with second thoughts to finish the job and send this to Obama to sign. Yea, the Democrats did something really great.
