Moments in History

We have had another milestone last night in these United States. We’ve been a nation that has been slow to change when it comes to taking care of others. Our health insurance had been far too difficult to obtain; either monetarily or because of seemingly arbitrary pre-existing conditions. I’ve seen this fight become ugly on both sides of the debate. I think that we need to take a step back and realize that we are doing something for not just ourselves, but other people. The jargon word used by psychologists is altruism. We have made an altruistic step. As someone who works for the betterment of others, and supporter of the healthcare bill, I felt it was my need to note this day.
