A momentous step was taken this morning when the U.S. Senate passed its version of health care reform. This would not have been possible without the election of a Democrat as president and strong Democratic majorities in both houses of congress. In the Senate, every Democrat voted in favor and every Republican against.
After the Christmas recess a conference committee from both chambers, House and Senate, will have to reconcile the different bills both have passed. Once this is done America will join the rest of the advanced world in recognizing that health care is a fundamental right, not a privilege for those who have the most money or work for the best employers.
Congratulations to the President, the Democrats in Congress and to everyone who has worked to help make this dream a reality.
