Historic Victory: Health Care Reform has passed!

A victory for the American people!

After one hundred years, the call of history has been answered with a 219-212 vote, despite all 178 Republicans and 34 Democrats opposing.

Now, I've had my own issues regarding this bill in terms of its costs, the cost for those with pre-existing conditions (especially those passed middle age), unemployed college students who are barely paying for school, abortion and being fined for being uninsured, among other things. Oh, and the fact that there's still no public option. We can argue back and forth the wrongs and rights, agree and disagree, but I know we can all agree that the 32 million uninsured Americans need help. This HCR law is a start. This is CHANGE.

Way to go, Mr. President. Way to go. *Applause*

*Side note: The right-wing, GOP, tea-baggers *giggles* and their supporters are already predicting doom for the future of the Dems this November. If you see a fan of the elephant, you know the Republican mascot, saying they're GLAD for this passing, just know they're prematurely celebrating that this could possibly be the last term for many Dems and Mr. Obama. It would be hilarious if and when they're wrong.
