Thanks for courage on health care vote

Dear Honorable Rep. Melissa Bean,

This is to express thanks on behalf of my wife and two kids, for standing on the side of the common and hapless citizens by voting in favor of the Affordable Health Care for America Act.

Indubitably, this is a historic accomplishment which promises to make life more meaningful to all the Americans in their pursuit of the promised American dreams. I can identify with this because I have experienced being under the yoke of heavy medical bills; many a time I go to bed praying to God that nothing happens to my family. How I wish that this reform had come earlier than now: the heavy debt resulting from my wife's hospitalization could have been avoided.

All the same, I say thank you to you and all the well-meaning representatives who chose to be on the side of the people. To all those who voted against this historic movement, I appeal to them to have a rethink when the opportunity to vote makes itself available again. I cannot thank you enough: may the Lord bless you.
