Mr. Speaker, I recently received a phone call from my childhood friend who told me he needed a place to stay. He was homeless; homeless because he was a diabetic and because he couldn't afford to pay for his hospital bills, he was put out of his home, he was evicted; homeless because he was middle-aged and couldn't find an insurance company to provide him with coverage he could afford.
I am asking the American people to contact the U.S. Senate to let them know that this repeal of the health care reform law cannot stand. Our American people need this protection.
The very nature of health insurance is to spread the risk. The more people that are insured, the lower the cost of health insurance for all of us. We have got to maintain the health reform law.
