EDITOR,

Let’s all thank Rep. Jerry McNerney for doing the right thing and voting for health care reform.

My granddaughter has cystic fibrosis. My son had a job with health insurance that covered my granddaughter. There was a million-dollar cap on the insurance, and when she reached the cap, she was kicked off the insurance.

Well, believe me, a couple six-week stays in a hospital doesn’t take long to use up a million-dollar cap.

Thanks again for standing up for people instead of the big money.

So, you're saying Congress could have remedied the situation with a simple fix, but instead opted for an illegal vote that will takeover the insurance agency?

I don't see any reason to purchase healthcare from insurance companies now. And your asking the government to give it to everyone - for free?

Too bad we didn't bother to read all 1900 pages before voting on it. Looks like Congress answers to The Few. Certainly doesn't look like they answer to the people of the United States of America?

Yes, thank you McNerney. And thank you letter writer for providing a good example.
