Today's Democratic President has succeeded (where, honestly, Hillary Clinton should have succeeded) in offering a new paradigm for health care to the country. It's imperfect, but given the machinations of politics here, nothing else could be expected. Nevertheless, important goals have been addressed: insurance companies can no longer refuse coverage to those with 'pre-existing conditions' (almost all of us); they can't charge premiums that effectively deny us insurance; and those with catastrophic health issues can't be summarily dropped.

I think JFK would approve.
