Victor Kamber Vice-President American Income Life Insurance :
It is not the end of the health care debate. But it's clear the sides have turned. The clear winners are the American People.
Politically the Democrats have risen from the ashes and proven that government can work, They have rejuvenated there base and there allies, and while they still face challenges in November they are in a much better position today.
The Republicans and the far-right conservatives are the big losers. The world didn't collapse after the vote and the angry rhetoric made the party and its leaders look petty and small. They will make some gains in November but nowhere near what they would have achieved had they beaten health care down.
