President Obama has engineered a watered down semi-universal profit driven health care system. His accomplishment will go down in history as one of the major social legislation issues to have been undertaken in generations. To his credit he negotiated placated and modified his way into a victory for politcal accomodation that will (in spite of it's faults) stand the test of time as a Major step forward in American Health Care for all.
Machiavelli said 500 years ago "Change is hard. The losers know very well what they are losing and fight with passion to maintain the status quo. The winners have no experience to know what they are gaining, so are lukewarm in their pursuit" (quotation marks are mine and statements within approximate)
A huge portion of our great nation are currently involved in demonizing and denigrating what has been accomplished. How much better it would be if they stopped for a moment and reflected on their good fortune and proceeded in good faith to modify it to better reflect and adjust to what will become obvious with time needs to be modified.
