A new White House analysis shows the impact of budget cuts and expiring tax cuts on African American families. There are other studies that explain how different segments of our population will be impacted, which I will also share in the coming days.

Under the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), new health insurance plans in effect after September 23, 2010 must cover flu (influenza) shots without requiring a copayment or co-insurance. This applies when you have the flu shot administered by a network provider. However, plans that were in existence prior to that date may not cover the cos...t at 100%.See More
All Medicare recipients are entitled to a flu shot at no extra cost and with no deductible required. If you are uninsured or cannot afford the cost of this protection, please check with a federally qualified community health center where services are available at reduced or no cost based on one’s income. Children, older adults, and other high risk populations are encouraged to obtain this vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control estimate that 200,000 people are hospitalized annually due to seasonal flu-related complications. - Here is the link to the Daily Show and the segment including my support of Ambassador Susan Rice

You asked that
1. The Bush tax cuts for the top 2% must expire, as scheduled, on December 31.
2. There can be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid benefits.
I have heard you and I agree. It is time to extend the Bush tax cuts for 98% of Americans right now. - A new poll out today, shows 60% of Americans – including 63% of independents – favor raising income tax rates on earnings over $250,000 to help get America’s fiscal house in order and avert the looming fiscal cliff. As noted in the Washington Post :
“Sixty percent of all Americans back higher taxes on higher incomes in the new Post-ABC data. Earlier this month, an identical 60 percent of voters ...in the presidential election said income taxes should be raised on income over $250,000, according to the national exit poll.”See More
One of my constituents wrote to me supporting the wealthy paying their fair share and said, “Please use your voice to remind House Republicans that ‘we the people spoke on November 6th, 2012’.” Rest assured I hear you and I will. - Do you know a hero to nominate? The Medal of Honor Foundation will present an award through its Citizen Service before Self (CSBSH) program. This program recognizes our nation's unsung heroes. if you know of someone who has saved a life thr...ough a single act of bravery, or perhaps who goes above and beyond to help others on an on-going basis, consider nominating them through www.csbsh.org The deadline is December28th. It would be great to have someone from Northeast Ohio recognized.See More
