The Haves and the Have-Nots

The single most important thing that could have ever happened, for the current history of the United States, transpired on 03/21/2010! The House of Representatives passed the Senate bill for Health Care Reform. What an amazing and historical day! This day will mark the movement that ends health care treatment for the haves and the have-nots. No more will there be a difference in treatment plans. No more will there be a large number of American citizens with no health care coverage. No more will there be continued punishments for the American citizens that are surviving critical illnesses, only to be dropped or find themselves not insurable, while dealing with diseases such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, high blood pressure, or arthritis. No more of a single group, i.e. large health care insurance companies, deciding the faith of who lives and who dies. No more! No more! No more!

Now, how does it all end?

In short, this day cannot only be attributed to President Barack Obama who laid the foundation, in this decade, putting everything on the line. It took 219 additional men and women to really trust the president's passion and America's absolute need for health care coverage. It took almost 100 years to get health care reform done, which many, before President Obama and these 219 heroes, laid the framework. President Obama, who stated he would rather be a great one-term president than a pitiful second-term president, has concluded a great movement. In my opinion, he understood that this could mean a potential lost for
