We Won This time....

If the Medicare bill proved anything, it’s that Washington does listen when enough people – in this case 1 million people! The usual partisan squabbling is stalling progress on the issues that matter in the lives of American families. Our representatives need to stop working against each other and start working for us. We need to build on the momentum this critical election year and demand comprehensive, bipartisan health care reform.

The bill that passed will:

Ensure that Medicare patients continue to have access to care; Improve prevention coverage and services; Improve low-income protections; and Provide improved coverage for mental health services.

It took a lot of hard work, a lot of lobbying, and a remarkable million online messages from you. I’m ecstatic that we were able to Keep Medicare Fair. So, stand up America and fight for the benefits you deserve, and keep our government working for it’s people, the way it should.
