The passage of the H.R.3962 Affordable Health Care for America Act on
November 7 was not a perfect solution to my examples of unmet need; the
bill has been modified in conciliatory efforts to seek bi-partisan
approval. However, I hope all Americans will have the vision and
foresight to recognize the historical significance of the passage of
this comprehensive health care reform bill. Regardless of whether or
not they supported it, I firmly believe it will provide secure and
stable coverage for those who have insurance, expand coverage for those
who do not, and lower overall costs for the majority of citizens.
Thank you to the members of the U.S. House of Representatives who voted
for this bill. Thank you for representing the primary voices of your
constituents. After nearly a century of attempts by Congress, we are
closer than we've ever been to taking care of all Americans' health
care needs. For that fact, I am truly grateful.
