The Capital needs to hear from us
The capital needs to hear from us
Hi Everybody, Just wanted to give a heads up on the Health care bills that are going through both houses. We are very informed citizens who have extensive experience with the health care system. We also have the privilege of information of our friends who live in Canada and across the pond who are on a different type of health care system.
Please call your Senators and Congressmen and let them know you are a breast cancer survivor. They need to know your experience and thoughts on health care. The capital switchboard number is 1-202-224-3121…ask for your representative.
The Health care bills are being debated every day and night live on C-Span. The house is on one channel and the senate on another. This debate will be going on for the next three weeks. I have been learning a lot because I have been watching it off and on all week.
Changes will be made because everyone believes we can make health care better. And there is an agreement on stopping exclusions from coverage for pre-existing illness.
OUR knowledge is very valuable in the decision-making going on in our country today.
Joe, This is not political… it is informational and educationally driven.
Thanks for being there for me

1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you
can stand up under it."
