Money should be going to health care

U.S. Rep Judy Biggert, you have done so much for your district in the past, and we need you to continue in that helpful manner. HR 3962 was a historic event for our nation when 220 brave members voted for their constituents, and against the special interests who are against affordable health care.

One would think no person in good conscience could be against such a helpful bill. We have hundreds of people in our community with no place to sleep, and very little to eat. Check out what PADS and many local churches are doing to help - now, today and every day. They do their bit for our needy citizens.

A recent Harvard University study showed we have some 44,000 people dying every year due to a lack of health insurance. As a country, we can, and must, do better. Please reconsider, and support future legislation to help the needy here in the U.S. to have better health care. Isn't that where more of our tax dollars should be going?
