A comprehensive law to reform the health system does not get to vote for nearly a century. This should make the idea (even the backwardness of social legislation in the U.S.). The law was passed with a very narrow margin - 220 to 215 - but it was difficult to imagine that the Democrats did not do. 37 out of 52 deputies bluedog democrats (the current Conservative Party) opposed and voted with Republicans, a member of the GOP - Anh Cao, who was elected in Louisiana and the first member of the House of Representatives of Vietnamese origin, here in the next Photos - voted in favor.
It was the '60s - when the President Johnson had extended health coverage for poor and elderly - in the United States was not dancing in a social reform of this magnitude. As we know the model does not come close to European, but the proposal passed by the House (2000 pages) includes the presence of a public provider of insurance policies (the public option) and a bag of insurance in which the search for cheaper.
will be 36 million new "insured" who did not want to get a policy must pay a fine, you eliminate the odious practice of pre-existing condition, to cover the cost of the reform (which is over "Thrillion") will be increased fees for certain categories of super-rich and eliminated some benefit fiscali per le multinazionali. Per ottenere il voto di alcuni democratici conservatori non sono state introdotte alcune misure che avrebbero garantito il ricorso gratuito all'interruzione di gravidanza per alcune fasce di assicurati, facendo così infuriare i democratici liberal.
Ora la pressione sul Senato aumenta, un'istituzione molto diversa da quella della Camera, molto più consensuale e dove conta ancora meno la disciplina di partito. La partita è ancora lunga, ma c'è in gioco l'anima dell'America: più pubblica e più equa. Per i repubblicani è il mondo all'incontrario, dove il governo può tassare il cittadino che non si vuole curare e si finanzia l'espansione del governo federale attraverso le tasse.
