Leaders in The Arc:

My letter on health care reform made the Chicago Tribune Friday.

Make sure you make your calls to the Capitol today supporting new revenue!

Health care reform necessary

11:58 AM CST, January 7, 2011

I don't understand the anger out there about health care reform. I am appalled

that some members of the Congress are making repeal of health care reform a

priority.

Maybe the people are pleased with the insurance giants ruling our personal

health care! Did you know 66 percent of bankruptcies are linked to medical

reasons?

All of us know someone who has had important coverage denied or lost coverage.

All of us know of families who are spending their retirement or college funds on

therapies for their children with disabilities because those therapies are not

covered by their current health care provider. Some of us know people who have

died because medical coverage has been denied. I know I have.

At The Arc, we hear from these families on a daily basis.

Is this what we want for our future? I think not. I say we need real health care

reform!
