The Unsung Hero of Healthcare
April 7th, 2010 by adetschDemocrats,
It seems we’re very close to the end of a long, trying fight that has lasted nearly the entire course of Barack Obama’s young presidency and cost him most of his political capital. The House tonight, in spite of unanimous Republican opposition, passed the most comprehensive and historic social legislation since Medicare and Medicaid. This is a momentous occasion, and the credit is largely owed to the Congresswoman from California’s 8th District: Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Sure, I’m willing to cede that the Democratic leadership in congress has misplayed their cards on a whole host of issues, and are largely responsible for losing control of this fight last summer. But in January, when Healthcare was apparently doomed by Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts and the President was ready to announce plans to scale back the legislation, Pelosi urged him to stay the course. Vote by vote, she pushed the unpopular December senate bill back through the House, forming a patchwork coalition of liberal democrats, anti-abortion crusaders, and moderates in swing districts without resorting to the ridiculous dealmaking that ensured the passage of the bill in December.
The work is now nearly finished. We don’t know how this will play for us politically in the short-term, as the President has said on numerous occasions, but once again, our party has shown themselves to be truly “progressive.” Over the past century, it has been Democratic administrations and congresses that have introduced those systemic reforms that have redefined the status quo, time and again. From the New Deal to Medicare, from the Civil Rights act to today’s momentous victory.
But in January, this result hung in the balance. It was Pelosi’s drive and determination that got us here. It was Pelosi who was instrumental in redefining history.
