Statement of Congresswoman Mazie K. Hirono of Hawai‘i in the US House of Representatives In Support of Health Care Reform
Washington,
Jun 16 -
Madam Speaker:
It’s time to stop playing politics and solve the health care crisis. Americans deserve a choice in quality health care that is affordable.
Health care reform will stop the insurance companies from denying coverage for an illness you had years ago or some other pre-existing condition. You will no longer be denied care because of how old you are.
Health care reform will give you the assurance that you will have coverage that can’t ever be denied or taken away. In these difficult times, our families need this peace of mind.
We spend almost 50% more per person on health care than the next most costly nation. But we are no healthier for it. We can not wait any longer to make health care reform a reality. I urge my colleagues’ support for quality, affordable health care for all. I yield back the balance of my time.
