Yes, it is. Every president since TR wanted to do something about health care and they couldn't get it done. This is quite a legislative accomplishment on the part of Obama and the Dems. Maybe this bill can be the nucleus of significant reform over time. TR's cousin didn't get anything like our current Social Security program passed. That has been reformed, amended and expanded over time but Social Security was never riddled with give-aways to corporate interests the way this health care bill is.
