Health reform is a victory for the American people that Republicans don't want. They've successfully painted the legislation as a government takeover and a direct path towards socialism. Why? Because it means that insurance companies won't be making as much money through the current system that encourages unethical practices? Sure, it's bad politics to essentially put a cap to the health industry's greed. But that doesn't mean it isn't the right thing to do. If health reform passes, it will be on the right side of history just as social security came to be.
