HR 3962 Passes After Generations of Americans Ignored

Last night, the House of Representatives passed the Affordable Health Care for America Act, H.R. 3962. It’s being touted as a major step forward but for those who support Single Payer, it is anything but.

From the house floor, Speaker House Nancy Pelosi called the passing of H.R. 3962, “an historic moment for our nation”. She went on to say, “For generations the American people have called for affordable quality healthcare for their families.”

For Generations!! From the house floor she asserts that the people of this country have been calling for reform for generations!!

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t oppose the passing of this bill. I think something is better than nothing and what the Dems did is certainly a far cry from what the Repubs proposed. But when the speaker openly acknowledges that the people’s will has been ignored for generations, I just want to scream.

If the people have been calling for this for generations and didn’t get it, then who the heck is congress working for? This is the question we should all be asking.
