Excitement in the Air: Healthcare!

There has been so much excitement about healthcare that our entries have slowed down. But I wanted to pass along a key resource and indicate that we have heard from supporters of My Rural America about their enthusiasm for the actions of the Congress to extend healthcare to 32 million Americans over the next several years. Supporters with children with disabilities are especially pleased that within the next several months they may be able to obtain health insurance for them. Individuals who have lived with fear that their insurance company would throw them off their insurance or they would pass a "lifetime cap" are breathing easier.

For those interested in seeing the full information packets available from the authors of the healthcare reform we are posting a link: www.speaker.gov/healthreform/ We are not posting all the links that become available under that address - look for your particular interests.

Of course, this is not the end of this debate. The Senate is considering the Reconciliation bill that will clarify and remedy some of the issues in the just signed bill. And as supporters of My Rural America know opponents of healthcare reform have launched efforts to repeal the just signed law and to file lawsuits they hope will carry them to the U.S. Supreme Court in opposition to healthcare reform.
