"Washington (CNN) — Health care reform backers won a key victory Saturday night as the Senate voted to move ahead with a floor debate on a sweeping $848 billion bill.
The 60-39 vote to prevent a Republican filibuster against the start of debate on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's legislation broke down along strict party lines. All 58 Senate Democrats — along with independent Sens. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and Bernie Sanders of Vermont — supported bringing the measure to the floor…"
Since Harry S. Truman was President of the United States the Democrats have been trying to get health care for all Americans. At last it looks like it is going to happen. The Republicans, like always, have been fighting it tooth and nail.
The Republicans have never been for anything that helps the working man. They hated Social Security and FDR. A few years ago they had to lie and say they were for SS. Then later they wanted to turn it over to Wall Street and the banks and big money people in the stock market.
It now looks like we are going to get health care for all Americans. We are just about the last nation in the world to give health care to their citizens.
There are good Americans that have deep concerns about this health care bill. I can understand their worry…But if we do not get it now…Then when will Americans have national health care?
We know the Republicans will do anything to keep us from getting it and they are still very close to getting their evil sick slick deed done.
If the Republicans had a plan of their own…Or if we could trust them …which we can not…If they did care about the working man…
Right now this is the time and we are so very close…I love it that national health care is going to be a 100% Democratic law.
Sure the Republicans are going to spend the next few years pointing up every problem that comes up with it and it is a major project there will be problems.
By the way…I and all other people on Social Security already have national health care…By the way everyone of the Republicans in Congress already have a national health care plan.
Now all American are going to have health care.
I think the health care plan will work…It will have problem that take time to fix but Americans will no longer have to go without health care. There will be fewer people in emergency rooms…More people taking care of minor problems before they turn into major medical problems.
Sen. Joe Lieberman voted with the Democrats. I suspect that someone had a talk with him.
