This humanitarian act took less than 6 months. We humans are slowly becoming more Humane.

Golfingnut, we all should love others as much! My fear that some of the Boomers slipped right into the "Me" Generation and some of the pre-Boomers forgot just how hard life can be. The "Love" Generation had the right idea.

Oh, by the way, I'm one of the first Boomers. One of my classmates died 17 years ago at the age of 50. Her death came about because she didn't have Insurance and she couldn't afford to go to a hospital. She was a high school cheerleader who grew up in an upper middle class family. She was intelligent, pretty, and was loved and a friend to all. We all could have found ourselves in a similar situation. Would you feel the same way about ACA if your child needed the help? No one is saying it's perfect, but I haven't heard of any other plans brought to the table that are better. It needs to be tweaked, but instead they'll try, for the 53rd time, to repeal it. It's done - let's make it better.
