when we were young marrieds and had inadequate health care, the complications in the birth of our first child nearly bankrupted us.

Health reform is a smart move financially for our country, to keep people healthy and productive. Let's just do this thing already!

even with two income earners for a family of three, we can barely afford our mediocre insurance.
