Like you, I’m pleased that it passed. But this is far from historic legislation. It is filled with ideas supported and proposed by every Republican president since Nixon. That certainly doesn’t make it bad, it’s simply less than historic. It is not a progressive bill. When insurance doesn’t cover all of women’s parts, it cannot be progressive. Hopefully, as you say, it is a step in the right direction.[/quote]

So why did ALL of the GOP in congress oppose it?[/quote]

The GOP gambled that they could the Dems couldn’t pass a bill, rather than help pass better legislation. If they had been willing to compromise, they might have gotten more of what they wanted.
