One step in the right direction! (?)

I personally think it's a positive thing. Health care has seriously gotten out of control, to the fact that some people go completely with out it because they can't afford it, some people get it completely for free, and others have to pay through the nose to be able to protect and keep their families healthy. And not to mention the OUTRAGIOUS salaries of the CEO’s of these companies and the record breaking profits! I’m talking billions people! I am lucky to work at a company that provides great benefits so I'm really not sure that this will effect me (us) at least not right now. But these few changes here will certainly mean the world to some people...
I know people (republicans) are freaking out about socialism (aahhhhhh - {Scare Tactics} I mean seriously I just read an article recently about how republicans got caught in the act about trying to use scare tactics to get things done) but first of all it's not socialism, and it's not universal health care - which has it's pros and cons but they have universal healthcare in so many other countries and their general happiness and way of living is off the charts compared to the US - just saying.
Anyways check out the link and let me know your thoughts on the matter....... (comments anyone?)
