Bill would harm health care

Health insurance is more than a policy, it’s peace of mind. It’s knowing your family will be cared for and not having to worry about going broke when you get sick. That’s why I strongly oppose the Senate health care bill.

The more I learn about it, the less I like.

Robbing health care from millions of Americans to give yet another tax cut to the rich and powerful is just plain cruel. Our health care system needs to be improved — we all agree on that. But this bill would do exactly the opposite — for no other reason than greed.

I urge Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell to vote no on the Senate health care bill.
