Rep. Jim Langevin & Health Care Reform Nov. 3, 2009

Barbara, from Cranston, is a devoted mother of two remarkable boys, one of whom has hemophilia. A three month supply of his life sustaining medication costs $60,000, never mind the costs of doctors visits or hospitalizations. She came to my office to advocate for her son, casting little attention on her own condition Multiple Sclerosis.

Despite her challenges, she knows she is one of the lucky ones because she has insurance coverage, but without health care reform, she is forever held hostage by insurance companies lifetime caps and barriers on preexisting conditions.

There are countless families, like Barbaras, who are struggling to afford or keep the coverage they have. Its time to pass health insurance reform.

But it's OK to pay a profit hungry private insurance company exorbitant premiums, and still not be certain they won't find some way to deny your claim?

Buying from an insurance co. is like buying tickets from a scalper. They add nothing of value.

This is toal bullshit. Take from the rest to give to a few...  People should choose how their money is handed out, not forced!
