Now, for the first time, we have not just the need but the will to get this job done. There is widespread support in the Congress and in the Nation for some form of comprehensive health insurance.

Surely if we have the will, 1974 should also be the year that we find the way.

Wrong! That was SOME republicans in 1974 and as you see, it didn't get passed back then. Let's not forget the fact that most Dems didn't agree with health care reform back then but now they do under Obama. Why though? Oh that's right - Because they could get it passed despite not having a single republican vote in favor of it and using some under the table/shady tactics to get it passed and forced down America's throat regardless!

And look what it did to your party! It's broken you up quite a bit! Why? Because the American public doesn't appreciate the throat raping Obama and Pelosi imposed on the American people that were predominantly against this health care reform package. Then the knucklehead of a president had the audacity to tell America they needed this bill to pass despite having not read the damn thing. How can Americans trust a reckless president like this? The answer: They can't!
