first step in a long road to Health Care For All. It is one of the greatest--and most difficult--things that has been accomplished in government in a very, very long time.

I say that as someone who will not personally benefit from the ACA, as I have TRICARE. That said, I know people who have benefitted, and probably would have died without it, or a version of it (Commonwealth Care, upon which ACA was based).

There's no going backwards, and that is a good thing!
