Just sent Congresswoman Kirkpatrick, an e-mail assuring her of my vote and financial support for her opponent. And my hope that she enjoyed her single term of service. If your rep. didn't vote as you wished, I urge you to do the same. Just say'n. |

Kirkpatrick Votes in Favor of Health Insurance Reform to End Insurance Company Abuses, Protect Children and Seniors Monday, 22 March 2010 00:00 WASHINGTON, D.C. – Representative Ann Kirkpatrick today issued the following statement after she voted to pass the health insurance reform package: “In my first year in Congress, I have always put the needs of my district first - that's why I stood up to the President and congressional leadership and opposed the auto and bank bailouts, the cap-and-trade bill and billions in deficit spending. “I am putting my district first again by voting for this reform package. Health insurance reform is critical to ending denials of coverage based on pre-existing conditions, making sure our children can get the care they need and protecting our seniors from unaffordable prescription drug costs. “I was able to make important improvements to this bill, including addressing the potential costs for AHCCCS and eliminating politics-as-usual special deals like the Cornhusker Kickback. I will continue to work with my health care advisory board to ensure that these reforms will work as effectively as possible for Arizona families as they are put into practice.” |
