We are celebrating for Cindy, John, Marva, Helen, and Linda and the tens of thousands of direct-care workers across the country who will now have affordable, quality health coverage. Last night the House of Representatives passed historic legislation that will slow the growth of health care costs, and improve access to quality health care for millions of Americans.
Insurance companies will no longer be able to undermine your health coverage. This is the end of the worst practices of the insurance industry—no more denials due to pre-existing conditions or dropping coverage for people who get sick. No longer will people go bankrupt because of illness and no hidden ceiling on your coverage.
Speaker Pelosi showed great leadership and members of Congress across the country rose to the occasion last night and voted FOR comprehensive reform. You can find the roll call vote for the bill (H.R. 3590) online. We thank them for their courage to ensure that quality health care is available to all of us and we ask that you do too.
In the coming weeks we will be analyzing how this legislation will impact the direct-care workforce. Until then, join with us in celebrating.
