America’s Health Reform Bill

There are some exciting news: On the late December 2009, The Senate just passed a historic health reform bill.

In all the back and forth, it's easy to lose sight of what this incredible breakthrough really means. But consider this: there are millions of Americans without health insurance who risk losing everything if they get sick.

There are mothers and fathers who wonder how they'll provide for their children because an illness has wiped out their savings.

There are small business owners who worry that they'll have to lay off a long-time employee because the cost of insurance is rapidly rising.

If president Obama finish the job, all this can change. We will have beaten back the special interests who have for so long perpetuated the status quo. We will have enacted the most important piece of social policy since the Social Security Act in the 1930s, and the most important health reform since Medicare in the 1960s.

Millions more will have access to affordable coverage. Parents will have the security and stability of knowing their insurance can't be revoked at a moment's notice. And the skyrocketing costs plaguing our small businesses will be brought under control.

There is still more to do before the president can sign reform into law -- a last round of negotiations and final votes in the Senate and the House -- and he is counting on your help every step of the way.
