I don't think very much of the health care reform bill. The insurance companies lie at the heart of the problem with the "health care industry." This bill means that we will fork over massive amounts of our tax dollars directly to those companies as part of "mandatory insurance."
Having said that, I am so glad that Obama won this battle and got his bill passed. If he had failed, I think that could have been a very early death knell for his presidency. What could he have gotten done after losing this confrontation with the No Party?
Now he has political momentum on his side - especially with the quick follow up of an agreement with Russia on nuclear weapons. Hopefully the fall elections will now not lead to the House or Senate falling to the Republicans (they have been purely and utterly disgusting throughout this entire period).
Go, Obama, go!
