The success of our new health care law in it's first year of full actualization is happening before our very eyes and most Americans are happy with that. Many still don't understand the basics of it due to much intentional disinformation and obstruction by the Republican party who don't see the new health care law as important to the American people. While on the subject of Republicans, let's remember that none of the Republican Congresspersons nor Republican Senators at the time voted for the law although the law was patterned by Democrats to mostly match an existing, successful Republican health care law instituted in the state of Massachusetts several years earlier. Be that as it may, for now we are today celebrating the fact that over 20 million American citizens are enjoying health insurance for the first time or a better health care plan than they had prior to the law. The numbers will keep rising as time goes by and that is the beauty of the law. I don't want to get into the arguments that surround this law both for and against but what I want to do is just sit back for a few moments and bask in the warmth of it's potential. Health is so vital to so many working Americans and their families. It is actually vital and for so many decades, health care has been elusive for those of us who spent most of our earned capital on just providing for the basic necessities of life. Few moments in history allow us the privilege of experiencing the fruit of our labor on this large a scale. Our society will be better now that we are getting closer to a process that brings 10's of millions of citizens out of the dire strait of not having an affordable avenue to living in a more healthy way. Cheers for us! :)
