7. Health Care Reform.

What a difference a vote makes! Up until the Senate election in Massachusetts on January 19th, 2010 the Health Care Reform Bill was virtually guaranteed. We were very close to approving our nations first nationwide health care system. The single-payer public option, health care reform appeared more evolutionary than revolutionary. The big evolutionary step was the attempt to insure millions of additional people. The House and the Senate were trying to reconcile their bills and planned on sending a final version to President Obama, who would have been able to claim a huge political success. Now, with the election of Scott Brown to the Senate it appears the Health Care Reform Bill is now considered DOA. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out in the next few months.
