Health Insurance Reform PDF Print

“In the years since I came to Congress, I’ve heard from thousands of families and small businesses across the 8th District, whose stories illustrated their concerns with rising health care costs and the need for reform. This bill will provide them with the health care security, affordability and choice they seek, while yielding an historic federal deficit reduction of $1.3 trillion."

--Congresswoman Melissa Bean
