Health Care
Working on the hill during the passage of health-care reform is truly remarkable. I can honestly say that I will never forget being in the gallery during the final debates, let alone being in the Capitol during the whole process. Americans have been fighting for comprehensive insurance reform for 80 years, numerous presidents have tried, dozens of senators, and hundreds of congresspersons. Finally, we have a bill that is a step in the right direction. My experience during the whole health care debate was mixed. On one hand, I enjoyed all of the rhetoric, debate, and emotion. However, seeing all the protests, racism, and ignorance on that Sunday made me realize that for many people, this was not about health-care. Rather than debating facts, individuals were yelling, screaming, and quite honestly, talking with the educational level of five year olds. However, when all was said and done, It was truly a educational, and truly unforgettable experience.
