| I'll be short, I know you have a lot of work to do.
Later today you will be voting on H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act. Your college from Michigan, John Dingell, made a very compelling case to vote yes on the bill. Since 1957 Representative Dingell has worked tirelessly to provide quality healthcare coverage to all Americans. This is as important a bill as you will ever vote on. Reforming the healthcare system in America to provide care to all has been a core Democratic Party priority since President Harry Truman proposed universal health insurance nearly 64 years ago. But you both remain publicly undecided on this bill.
You are both great Democrats. You do Minnesota proud. You've got some concerns, some good, some bad. But this is the bill before you. It's a good bill. And today you have one of the biggest choices of your career to make. You will take a vote that will go down in history.
I have confidence that you'll do the right thing. Don't let Minnesota down. |
