21、s f America.各位晚上好。今天晚上，经过近1某年的讨论和挫折，经过几十年的尝试以及过去一年来不懈的努力和辩论，美国国会最终宣布，美国的工人、家庭和小企业得到保证，在这个国家，不管是疾病还是意外事故都不会破坏他们为之奋斗一生的梦想。今晚，就在许多批评人士认为不可能的时候，我们超越了政治的力量。我们向特殊利益的不正当压力发起反击，我们并没有向怀疑、恐惧、担忧和冷嘲热讽投降。相反，我们向世人证明，我们仍然是一个能够干大事和解决重大挑战的民族。我们向世人证明，美国政府一个民有、民治的政府仍然是一个民享的政府。对于今天晚上每一位充满勇气和信念、站出来推动医疗改革成为现实的国会议员，我对他们表示

22、衷心感谢。我知道，这对于许多人来说并不是一次简单的投票，但这是非常正确的决定。感谢众议院议长南希-佩洛西(Nancy Pelsi)的杰出领导;感谢多数党领袖斯特尼-霍耶(Steny Hyer)和二号人物吉姆-克莱伯恩(Jim Clyburn)为这项工作圆满完成所作的努力;感谢副总统乔-拜登(Je Biden)和联邦政府卫生与公众服务部部长凯瑟琳-西贝利厄斯(Kathleen Sebelius)为此做出的杰出贡献;感谢国会的工作人员，感谢白宫的工作人员，他们在过去一年不知疲倦地与各行各业的美国人一起努力，最终拟定了一份值得国会进行投票的改革议案。今天的投票结果实现了如此多为之奋斗的人的梦想。对于

23、每一位花费时间坐下来写一封信或者电子邮件提出意见或建议的美国人而言，今天晚上我们听到了他们的声音。反对派认为，美国的改革不应是自上而下的，而应该是自下而上的。对于这一点，我想重申：因为大家的努力，此次此刻自上而下的改革是可能的。最重要的是，对于每一位深切希望能就医疗体系做出改革以便使其为普通人而非保险公司服务的美国人而言，今天的投票结果使他们的祈祷成真。对于大部分美国人来说，这场辩论从来都不是抽象的，右翼和左翼、共和党和民主党之间的斗争远超过个人层面。医疗改革事关每一个美国人、每一位父母、每一家小企业。今晚的投票结果对任何一个政党、对美国民众以及从情理上说，都是成功的。现在，今晚的投票结果可能理所当然地引发大量的即时分析(instant analysis，前美国副总统斯皮罗-阿格纽所创的对电视广播员对总统讲话发表的评论的贬称)。可能存在对华盛顿赢家和输家的评论，以及这一投票结果对民主党和共和党、对我本人和我所领导的政府的支持率意味着什么的预期。不过随着时间流逝，关于这场辩论以及预言都消退之时、当尘埃落定之后，能够留下来的并不是有些人所担忧的政府经营的体系或者有利于保险业的现状，而是包含两党想法的医疗体系，并且该体系能更好地为美国民众服务。如果你
