HEALTH CARE PASSED YESTERDAY!!

NOW I'LL ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO GET HEALTH INSURANCE ONCE I'M NOT ON MY PARENT'S PLAN ANYMORE!

NOW I WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO GET IT BECAUSE I HAVE A "PRE-EXISTING CONDITION" (ADD is considered a pre-existing condition. Even though it barely affects my life.)

NOW, EVEN AS AN ACTRESS, I'LL STILL BE ABLE TO AFFORD HEALTH INSURANCE!

NOW I WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT OBSCENE PREMIUMS!

NOW I WON'T HAVE TO LIVE IN FEAR OF SOMETHING SO SIMPLE AS BREAKING A BONE!

NOW I WON'T HAVE TO TAKE A CRAPPY JOB JUST FOR THE HEALTH INSURANCE! (I'll just have to take one to pay all my other bills... I'll still be an actress after all. XD)

Now, for literally the first time in my life, I can say that my government has created something that will actually help me in my lifetime.

Our new health care system is not perfect. Far from it. We still have a ways to go... but this is one of the few times in my life I can actually be proud to be American in this modern day and age.
