(NEW) Thank you for continuing your support for the Affordable Healthcare Act. It is not the perfect solution (we still need single-payor insurance) but it is a large step in the right direction. Given the Supreme Court's ruling, I believe that I can continue to count on you to work towards always improving the Healthcare Act and to support the implementation. I appreciate your updates and information as there is so much "mis-information" about the Act shared in emails and on the internet. Again, I am honored to have you represent me in the Senate. Thank you for your hard work!

(NEW) Thank you for article on the Affordable Care Act. More Democrats need to vigorously defend it. On the issue of a penalty or a tax, I think we need to make it clear that if a tax, it only applies to the 1% of Americans who can afford health insurance but refuse to purchase it -- the health care "freeloaders" who are driving up health care costs for the rest of us. If we start calling it a "Freeloader Tax", perhaps people will stop assuming it applies to them.

I want to express my support of the vote Wednesday to repeal ACA. It's the wrong answer to the right question. When a large majority of physicians reconsider their careers in medicine, that scares me. It's not the future I want for my kids or any citizen of this great country.

The biggest problem right now is that the average person does not know what is in the law and what it will mean to them. Surveys show that when various aspects are explained to people they change their view of the new Health Care Program. Right now unfortunately the Republicans are winning the message war out here. Thanks for listening to my frustration.

Please vote against the "Obamacare" health care! This is a socialistic move that directly opposes our own democratic republic freedom of choice! Our very freedom depends on your "no" vote on this bill that will destroy America in many aspects, not just healthcare!
