This isn't perfect or close to it but it's the kind of first step we need. My parents were lucky to have good health care when my mom developed breast cancer. They got good care and were able to keep their house. Millions more over the years have not been as lucky as they were. Now, they don't have to count on being lucky in terms of where they work; now they can count on the luck of being American.

Watching the signing ceremony on tv was enjoyable personally and politically. What a nice day to be home from work…
