Last week, Rep. Dennis Moore published an editorial in newspapers across the third Congressional district announcing his support for the House health insurance reform bill. As he explained last week:
I will be voting for this bill because it addresses the issues of affordability, fiscal responsibility, quality and choice. We can no longer afford to do nothing. We must meet this challenge head-on.
This bill will not only dramatically improve the health care system for those who already have insurance they like and want to keep, it benefits those who don't have insurance...
Congressman Moore delivered on that pledge by voting for the bill Saturday.
In that same editorial, Rep. Moore explained why his vote was right for the district by pointing out how the bill makes health insurance more affordable and accessible to thousands of struggling Kansans. He discussed how the bill lowers premiums and bans discriminatory policies like preexisting conditions -- as a fiscal conservative, he also highlighted its deficit reducing effects to the tune of $30 billion.
For reference, here is the email we just send out to our supporters:
Dear Friend,
Doing the responsible thing isn't always easy, but it's always the right thing to do.
Congressman Dennis Moore did what was right Saturday when he voted in favor of the Affordable Health Care for America Act. This reform will make health care more affordable and accessible to thousands of Kansans as well as lower premiums, outlaw discriminatory policies, and reduce the deficit.
