The passion for passing health insurance reform is growing. Just recently the Fountain Hills Times printed an array of the letters they have been receiving. Below are three of the letters they printed.
Reign In Costs by Dave Long
It is exciting to know that maybe, just maybe, the U.S. is now finally on the verge of reigning in health care costs, eliminating the pre-existing condition stigma and setting up a system that makes quality health care available to every one of our fellow citizens. Today, for those who can afford health insurance, premiums (and insurance company profits) increase unabated. For the millions, who are not insured (including the working poor), the lack of preventative care and postponed treatment of illnesses ultimately ends in much more costly emergency room treatment or worse -- premature death. The bills now before Congress reveal several paths out of the morass of the health care system we have today. It is a once in a (healthy) lifetime opportunity to fix a broken and expensive system.

Public Option by Steve Hoover
Everyone agrees that health care coverage is too expensive. Everyone agrees that we must do something quickly and that our economy is in peril if we don’t. Too many have health care nightmare stories. Obviously our healthcare system needs serious reform. Decades of dithering and lack of performance on the part of our elected officials has allowed this situation to spiral out of control. Finally, someone has demonstrated the leadership skills and guts to make serious health care reform a reality. I am a registered Republican, and I support President Obama’s Health Care Reform plan with a public option.

Healthy Reform by Dorothy Verbal
Last week I was calling from a phone bank in Fountain Hills. Our objective was to notify residents that a call to their representative and senator would show support for President Obama’s plan for health insurance reform. It is important that our representatives are aware that many citizens support the reform plan with the public option because this will insure health care coverage for all Americans. We are the richest country in the world and yet 40 million people are uninsured. This number does not include the poor who, by the way, are covered by Medicaid. Hooray for President Obama for putting forth the effort! We should match his effort with our own.
