After a historical vote in the House to send health reform to the President, he speaks to all Americans on the change they will finally see as they are given back control over their own health care:

Well done Obama and staff

    • The beginning of the end, not health care per se, but for the government passing a bill that allows government to force the American people to buy something whether they want to or not. Everyone will have to purchase health care and keep it or else be fined and/or jailed.
      What next? The government bailed out General Motors: they'll pass a bill that everyone must purchase a GM car or truck to help pay back the bail out, or be fined!? They got their foot in the door with Health Care.
      Guess how the insurance companies benefit by giving them more customers.
      And to save money will all the disabled children on Access/Medicaid have to pay for those benefits? Does this mean my 2 year old niece's mom will now have to pay for her 3-4 therapists her daughter sees per week? Remember my grand niece was supposed to die in utero because she had no cerebral cortex. I was there the day 8-9 therapists converged on her to 'help' and to see for the first time how a baby was living without a 'brain'.
      And by the way her mother does work and pay taxes. The dad's mom helps with her care as well as help from her mom's side of the family. It'll be interesting to see how this pan's out for her life with the new health care bill.

    • I have no problem throwing my money into the pot for the good of the commons. I have a very big problem, however, being forced to throw my money into the profit pot of the insurance industry. Let's not muddy the waters here, corporatecrats. This bill hands it all away to the insurance industry. As I read in an inciteful comment at another site: the two main thrusts of the bill are the public mandate and no denial for pre-existing conditions. So let's see, it boils down to 1)We are being forced to become customers of a for profit industry and 2)they must allow us to patronize them.

      By the way, according to the bill, an insurance company can STILL DENY someone for a pre-existing condition, but they must pay a fine if they do. Hmmm, let's see, I think I'd trade paying a few small fines in exchange for 30,000,000 new customers.
