220 and 51 is OK By Me

Sincere thanks to Representative Baron Hill, and 219 of his House colleagues, for standing up for meaningful health care reform last night. Saturday's vote is just the beginning of the process, but it's a good beginning.

H.R. 676 was the vehicle for truly revolutionary health care reform, but the climate of fear cultivated by opponents of that legislation's goal of people over profits left a second choice, H.R. 3962, as the only game in town.

And the vote was even bipartisan.

Now, it's on to the Senate.

You are right, John, we are moving in the right direction. It's just isn't fast enough for me. But I'll just have to get over it.

Thanks for all that you do.
