We need health care now!

Today is an important day as any other day in the Senate. Five progressive Democrats changed some text of the bill with five moderate Democrats to gain their votes. They include an expansion of Medicare to people 55 and over. The ability for people to buy into the Federal Employee Plan. Another important amendment would be the oppurunity of people to be able to buy precription drugs from Canada. 
We support this because people need health care. One of the toughest age groups to insure is from 55 to 64. This group is most likely to have health problems and their premiums are high. We also support the idea that people should be allowed to buy into the Federal Employee Plan. Everyone here legally is a taxpayer to the United States Government and should have the ability take an insurance plan that federal employees have.
We hope that the Senate passes the bill and that legislators use their minds to think about the whole nation instead of one area. The importance of passing healthcare this year is very important. Many people need help and this bill will bring it to them.
