The time Nancy Pelosi saved Social Security
But for those whose political horizons go back a bit longer, she stands out as the exemplary progressive among powerful Democrats.
She had a role in stiffening President Obama’s spine after Scott Brown threw the future of the Affordable Care Act into doubt, and her opposition to the Iraq War came at a time when the party’s other legislative leaders (Reps. Tom Daschle and Dick Gephardt, Sen. Harry Reid) and presidential aspirants (John Kerry, John Edwards, Hillary Clinton) were backing it.
But more fundamentally, her reputation as a shrewd and effective leader dates back to the huge fight over privatizing Social Security in the mid-aughts. At the time, the Democratic Party’s fundamental political position looked more precarious — and Pelosi successfully held her party together against chipping away at one of the greatest party achievements in American history.
All this helps explain why the anti-Pelosi sentiment is among a fairly marginal group of centrist Democrats who are completely detached from the anti-establishment movement on the left.

when the ACA passed 
I think that she passed them on to hospitals or nursing homes, IIRC.
I want her to stay at the helm since we need a very seasoned Capitan to get us through Hurricane 5 Donald.
