It was Pelosi leading the courageous, digging deep for the courage of the party to vote for the first time in History of America for Universal Healthcare. Many Democrats who voted in this come from red districts where they will take heat from their constituents for supporting it. Many Democrats come from extremely progressive districts who are taking heat because it's not Single Payer. And further courage was needed by the female members of the House to vote for this bill when it had one of the most egregious poison pills attached to it. But the courage was there to show that no matter what Republicans try to do to stop healthcare reform, the Democrats have the will and power to do what is so badly needed for the millions of Americans who have no health care. Some say it was courageous for the Dems who voted against this on principle. No, it was easy for them. They will be supported by their ultra-left purists or conservative leaning constituency. These people are playing it safe. These people don't want reform. These people supported the status quo. The truly brave members of Congress voted to take America one step forward into the future, where we belong, in a country that provides healthcare regardless of income or pre-existing condition.
