"This legislation will not fix everything that ails our health care system, but it moves us decisively in the right direction," Obama said shortly after the historic vote. "This is what change looks like."
It's been 45 years – on July 30, 1965 to be exact, see the brief history here. - since the United States of America - and the world - witnessed the advent of Medicare and Medicaid. However, the availability of these for universal coverage was not achieve - a work that each and every man who took the seat of presidency failed to do. Until Obama finally done it.
A frightening margin of 7 votes made the realization of Obama's signature goal for the country. The house voted 219-212 to send this elusive dream into reality. The catch is, the Democrats passed the bill without a single vote from the Republicans, which smells of a great rift between them. And it's an indication that the Republicans will not give up the fight yet - not until the bill became law. The Republicans already made it known to the public that they plan to do a campaign during this fall's midterm elections on a pledge to repeal the bill. There will be a lot of constitutional challenges.
