After a century of trying to establish some type of health care insurance for all Americans, I am so happy that President Obama was able to pass his health reform bill. We will all benefit in some way from this health reform bill that seeks to bring down health care costs for American families and small businesses, while expanding coverage to millions of Americans.
I am however saddened by the struggle in which President Obama faced to too see this much needed plan turned into a law. I heard a gentleman say that it was almost as if President Obama paid people off to have them vote in favor of his plan. Yes the votes were very tight and some democrats did not even vote in favor of the plan, but this plan benefits us all and I have yet to understand why anyone would go against it. This plan will strengthen consumer protection, and ultimately provide Americans more say so in what their health care can do for them.
Although it will take a while for all of his plans to be put into action I believe that President Obama has proven himself to us all. He entered into his presidency at a time when America was at its worst. His ability to slowly but surely make change in this country is insurance to us all that he is striving for a brighter and more prosperous America. Barely halfway through his second year President Obama has achieved something that most people living today have never experienced!
