Health care reform just common sense

Recently my sister had to stay at home because of a serious blood infection. She had been dropped from her health care. I supported the passage of comprehensive health care in the House of Representatives on Nov. 7. I woke up the next morning feeling hope! I especially appreciate the vote of Rep. Bill Foster and other Illinois Democrats in favor of health care reform for all of us. And I appreciate all Republicans who have the vision and courage to go beyond partisan politics in favor of the average citizen.

Continued support for this bill is a vote to provide secure and stable coverage for Americans with insurance, expand coverage for those who do not have insurance, lower costs for families and businesses, and begin to reduce the deficit. How can anybody go against such common sense?
