True and FDR had to considerably water down his Social Security Bill to get it passed.
However, over the years, it was ammended something like 70 times to get it where it is now.
If the Health Care Bill passes (which I doubt), it will probably take generations to get it where it needs to be, however, that's the way it will have to go. Hopefully Obama can plant a seed that will grow with time so that 70 or so years from now, Americans have a true Universal Health Care system.
