Another Step For Senate

It looks as though the Senate may be able to get passage before Christmas of the historic legislation to remake the nation's medical system and cover 30 million uninsured.  It was 1am when the Senate voted on the bill and the Independents along with the Democrats were able to make it happen. Despite the late hour and a harshly partisan atmosphere, Democrats' spirits were high.   This action makes it closer to passing legislation extending health coverage to nearly all Americans.  By doing this it will make health insurance mandatory for the first time for nearly everyone.  I suppose we will have to take it whether we want it or not.  I don't relish being told how to handle my healthcare coverage.  I don't think it's right to tell the American people that we don't have our rights to choose.
