Where I Stand on Health Care Reform
Posted by: Maurice Hinchey (07-29-2009, 01:20 PM)
I am very concerned with how expensive health care is and how many people go without it. All Americans should have access to quality health care and I think the best solution is to establish a national health care system. Over 45 million Americans have no health insurance today, and millions more have inadequate insurance. Employers who have long provided quality coverage for their employees are cutting back benefits and raising workers' out-of-pocket expenses to deal with the rising cost of health premiums. Most of those who do have health insurance have to rely on their employers to provide it and as a result they have little or no choice about what kind of coverage they will have, and little or no security about whether they will remain insured, should they lose their job.

Stopping the Misinformation Campaign about, HR 875, the Food Safety Modernization Act
Posted by: Hinchey Legislative Office (04-02-2009, 11:50 AM)
Our office has received many calls and e-mails in relation to a misinformation campaign that makes false claims about H.R. 875, the Food Safety Modernization Act. These calls and e-mails falsely claim that the bill would, among other things, criminalize backyard gardens, close farmers’ markets, and eliminate organic farming by requiring them to use certain types of seeds and fertilizer. Furthermore, these correspondences claim that H.R. 875 will pass Congress soon without amendments or debate.
