This is a Big Fucking Deal

Yes, finally after months of debate, propaganda, fear mongering, and out right lies, we have healthcare reform. As Americans, we pay more than any other country while having one of the worst healthcare systems among developed nations. There is not doubt that we needed government to step in, whether this bill is what we need is up for debate. The right has said that this gives too much power to the government, i feel ya (pound chest twice) but our insurance agencies were taking advantage of a basic human need. Republicans at first, said that we didnt need healthcare reform, that we "have the best healthcare system in the world". Then they said "oh we want healthcare reform now too but....just not this one". Then about a two months ago Republicans wanted law makers to write up a new bill for this reason and this reason alone: A new bill would take months to pass through the house and senate, and this summer nothing would get done because of the elections in november. So with a new bill that no one knows about and healthcare seemingly limping along Americans would say "Well, what the fuck, we wanted healthcare reform. The dems didnt get it done so i'll vote for the republican running against my democratic representative, maybe he'll do better". So still fooled, people would vote republican thinking that surely healthcare would be reformed. Republicans would have the majority and they would look around and say "Hey, we never needed healthcare reform in the first place" "Yea what were those dems thinking?!?! We're just fine Rah Rah America and so on...". Then healthcare would not be brought up again for another 15+ years. And like with the passing of social security and medicare the democratic party will drag the right kicking and screaming until they realize, not admit, but realize that as a country, we did the right thing.

listen close and you can hear Biden saying that "this is a big fucking deal"
