more great change, another inherited mess cleaned up

The Bush Administration created a "donut hole" in Medicare that cost seniors millions of dollars if they wanted their prescriptions filled. On top of that, they declared the system as failing and wanted to cut back on healthcare to seniors.

In one move, Dems just expanded coverage to 32 million more people, ended the most unethical practices by insurance companies, and reduced the deficit in comparison with previous policy.

Instead of staying the course, the Obama Administration, against strong opposition from Republicans, has closed this coverage hole created by Medicare Part D. In another great change, instead of simply piling on more debt like the previous administration, a buildup of waste and fraud is being eliminated to pay for it. Republicans, for their part, are so enamored with the person who perpetuated the greatest case of Medicare fraud ever, that they've made him the party choice for governor of Florida.

More great change, and another inherited mess cleaned up.
