Dear Editor: It's great making history! This historic accomplishment occurred on Saturday, Nov. 7, when the House of Representatives passed H.R. 3962 — the Affordable Health Care for America Act. I think these efforts go back to when I was a lad in high school when Harry Truman was our president.
Our representatives who voted for this bill deserve our praise and thanks. I am sure the lobbyists for the insurance and pharmaceutical industries put on a full court press -- yet House members withstood it and took the right action because it was the right thing to do.
I now urge the Senate to continue the fight, which is to provide secure and stable coverage for all Americans with insurance, to expand coverage for those who do not have insurance, and to lower cost for families and businesses! Finally, we are on the right track.
