VICTORY! (more about this later)

A victory for the struggling  working class who have been made poor by rising health costs.  A victory for people who could potentially be thrown into bankruptcy (again due to rising healthcare costs), because the health care insurance companies rejected them.  A victory for the American people who will save nearly $2 trillion in the next 20 years  in Medicare and Medicaid costs.

A loss to the the Republican party and all their followers who have been saying very little but "no" during this whole debate. 
A loss to health insurance executives who have piggishly over indulged in executive bonuses and seven-figure salaries.  I love the part of the healthcare insurance reform that forces insurance to have 85% of their revenue going to actually paying their insured medical bills (NOT executive bonuses, lobbying & advertisements).
