So today late sunday the bill of health care reform was passed and will be signed to be lawbinding by the president this week. A big congratulation is in order for Obama!

The bill passed although not a single republican voted for it and the opposition is big. Still everybody agrees it's a big, no huge happening in America. It was written that something this big and changing hasn't happend since medicare 1965.

When I read about this as a Swede I don't quite get it. Why would anybody be against healthcare and even though this is big, I bet the bill is totally stripped from it's original...but babysteps people. Hmm...I wonder how Michael Moore is feeling about this, must check out if he has a website or something.

But still in Sweden we have safety nets for everything, welfare, maybe so good that it's almost impossible to fall out of the system. Freeloathing is always a problem in all systems! I pay for my own health care as well as for others and others do the same for me...I pay for the library and so does everybody else whether I use it or not, but it's for the greater good.

Maybe I see it in another light since I grew up with it and is used to paying high tax, but then have almost everything around me next to free. Sure sometimes you wish it wasn't so high, but I rather have it that way, than feeling as unsafe as I do in the US now, although I have double insurance. I think that the opponents of health care are real pessimist seeing it with a patch on one eye.

America will in the future look back and not understand why this didn't happen sooner, reform is scary, but compared the reform they are asking/ wishing other countries for, this is not all that big...not for a Swede...
