“It’s a victory for the American people, and it’s a victory for common sense”: President Barack Obama, a few minutes ago.
With the Civil Rights Act (1964), Voting Rights Act (1965), and Social Security Act, aka Medicare (1965), it seems the most significant legislation of my lifetime.

You said it! I started working (albeit for a universal single-payer system) when our (uninsurable) daughter was 13. I'm a chapter in a book, a lot of position papers, a testimony in the Congressional Record, about a gazillion letters, and even some donated dollars, into the fight. Sixteen years later--when the reforms are actually too late to help my family--Change has come. I'm truly elated, but it's bittersweet. After years in the state's 'high-risk pool,' daughter Laura now has the same plan that our Congressmen have--because she is in public service.
