US House nearing Vote on Health Care Reform

When was the last time you got a paycheck for $9,600?
If it was last pay period, the health care reform bill in Congress may not be for you. But if you're one of the 98% of Americans who make less than $250,000 every year, you stand to save a lot of money.
The health care reform bill being voted on in the House this week will save you an average of $2,200 per year.[1] It would have people who make more than a quarter of a million dollars help pay for reform by rolling back Bush's tax cuts for the rich. [2]
For decades, giant corporations have refused to pay their fair share of rising health care costs. All the while, workers, small business owners, and our families have picked up their tab.
This bill guarantees us quality, affordable health care. It will cover the uninsured and significantly lower the costs for those of us who have insurance. Let's pass this bill, so we can lower ours.
Thanks for all you do, Dr. L. Toni Lewis, MD
