It ain’t over til it’s over, as Yogi Berra would say, but it looks like the chances are now very good for Health Care Reform, real health care reform, to pass Congress and be signed by the President. Personally, I can say that it is not even close to everything I could have wanted — I would have preferred single payer or something along the lines of what the Germans do — but it has a reasonably robust “Public Option” and is a huge, HUGE step forward. My congratulations to President Obama and the Congressional Democrats for what is shaping up to be a significant victory for social justice. We will soon live in a country that no longer bankrupts the sick, and that deserves a prayer of thanks.
