"To Promote the General Welfare"

This doesn't mean pad the pockets of CEOs of health insurance companies.. I mean, seriously, how many 9 to 15 million dollar houses does someone need at the expense of letting someone die? or to deny payment (and with what was the standard practice, if you have to pay before treatment meant a death sentence), nor does it mean fat donations from special interest groups and insurance lobbyists giving to the bought and paid for politicians (you can tell which ones, they voted no over and over for health care reform since the days of Nixon).

Finally, something has been done, a small step, to "Promote the general welfare" of American citizens. With luck, this will grow so no family has to go through what I did, having a sister and her baby die because denied health insurance and no doctor wanting to treat her because she was a cardiac patient aka had a pre-exisiting condition. Even those who who voted against it.

As for the politicians, seeing as their health care is covered by taxpayers, the ones who voted no are beyond hypocritical.
