In the end, Obama got health insurance to people who need it.

No, it's not enough, and there's a lot more work to do on it, but it's light years better than what we had before.

2. You mean we're making PROGRESS?

3. Proudly waving my hand in the air as one of them!

After 30 years of being uninsured, I proudly stand and proclaim I am one of those who needed insurance and got it thanks to Obama!

Go Obama! And Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and each and every DEMOCRATIC member of Congress who voted for this legislation.

I have a spot reserved right here beside me for any one of those Democrats who voted for ACA and is standing for re-election.

4. Same here!

I was "only" uninsured for the last eight years, not thirty, but still -- I didn't have it, couldn't get it, needed it, and now I have it!!!

I'm with you on supporting and Dem who voted for this!

7. "Only" eight years is waaaay too long!

Congrats! I know what a relief it is just to say "I'm insured!"

With a pre-existing, chronic condition, uninsured meant I waited until I almost left my daughter an orphan in 2013 when I got very, very sick.

5. That will never satisfy the ones who wanted unicorns and rainbows.

But I give President Obama major props!

6. Unfortunately, there are still to many here in Texas who can't get it.

As in other states whose governors didn't open it up to Medicaid. Bastards.

8. Same here in Georgia

But today, as I watch Obama take his victory tour, these people have to be very uncertain about their careers.

9. I was amazed at the crowd amassed at the Alamodome yesterday.

A big push here in San Antonio; it was fantastic. Our local news interviewed people who have never had insurance before. One woman was so proud of what she'd just done; smiling from ear to ear. She said for the first time in her life, she has the peace of mind that she can go to the doctor when she's sick.

This is why the GOP has tried to repeal ACA 50 times; they knew it would be a success. Come November it's going to be a selling point for Dems.

10. Oh that was amazing!

I saw photos. It reminded me of those lines during the 2008 election.

I truly believe people are not as stupid and apathetic and the teapublicans believe.

11. I hope you're right.

Scenes like the one from yesterday give me hope that you are.

It was great too - doors closed at 8 but if a person was in line out the door, they got helped. The staff stayed and took care of every last person.
