This letter is to thank Rep. Jerry McNerney, 11th District, for supporting the health care bill. Now: 11,000 residents (in the 11th District) with pre-existing condition will be able to acquire insurance, provide tax credits and assistance to 123,000 families, extend coverage to 35,500 uninsured residents, save 1,500 families from health care bankruptcy and get full prescription drug coverage for 90,000 seniors on Medicare. In this great wealthy country, every citizen should be healthy and now it will be so.
