The health care bill was passed by the House recently, and it was at least a step toward a final bill after the Senate votes.

We are all hoping that the final vote will provide the necessary secure and stable coverage for all Americans who either don't have insurance, or to obtain better insurance at a lower price for those who have it.

We are looking for a bill that will at the same time be a way to reduce the deficit in the long run.

It is understood that not everybody will like everything in the final bill but it will be a historic accomplishment that is long in coming.
