How long will it take to give health care?

I was raised by the Greatest Generation. I especially remember the World War II years from age eight through 11. My uncles and neighbors served.

This generation carried our nation through the Great Depression, a world war and rebuilt the U.S., Europe and Asia.

I often wondered what moved these people. I believe a bit of history gave me part of an answer to that question; the 19th Amendment signed August 26, 1920.

Women were given the right to vote. The women of the Greatest Generation were empowered to vote after some 144 years as a nation. I wonder how long we will have to wait for health care for all Americans?
