it's time to do the right thing
pass the very elusive health care reform bill now. this will regulate the for profit health care system in this country. these companies who will drop your coverage if you get sick, who hikes their insurance premiums to the roof for small businesses or individuals and then even though if you are paying your premiums for ages and by unlucky turn of events you'll get so sick they will drop your coverage like a hot potato because they will now lose money on you. after so many tries by "democratic" presidents in the past like Bill Clinton but failed, the time is ripe to do the right thing for the working American people whose jobs were outsourced by big corporations overseas. the democrats the party of the working people here who lost their health coverage, who can't pay their mortgages so they went to foreclosures because their jobs were lost. it's about time. for 50 years this change was so hard to come by. of course the republicans who belong to the party of the big rich corporations here are fighting it tooth and nail for it not to pass. but the stars are lining up. we have a democratic president, a majority in both houses of congress so now after a long, long time it can be done. it is time, it is long over due to do the right thing. Barack Obama's presidency will be defined by the passing of this health care bill. it will rewrite history that finally after so many tries of past democratic presidents not republicans ha, the light is on at the end of the tunnel. again, it is time to do the right thing. 32 million more Americans will now have health insurance coverage if this bill passes. 95% of Americans will be insured. we do have health insurance from my employer so i am not directly affected by this but i care for people who can't have a decent health care because it is so hard to get one if you have pre-existing conditions and if you happen to lose your job where most of us get our health care coverage. now if this bill passes you can buy your health coverage from health insurance exchanges that will be created, very cool :) way to go mr. president. you never forget your roots of coming from the struggling working class of this country. i love it for you truly cared for us. you are one of a kind of a president. never silver spoon fed so you knew first hand how the lives of the poor revolved. you knew how the workers of this land feel in truth for you were one of us then. nobody knows how to be poor not unless you were once in their shoes. you can't really feel their struggles not unless you were on that path also. not unless you were one of them before and you were, so you genuinely cared. it showed by your actions not only by your words and that's very powerful...our utmost respect to you mr. president. not only that you deserve it but you live it. we're lucky this time :)
