Dear Mr. Bolling:
Thank you for contacting me regarding the "United States National Health Insurance Act" (H.R. 676). I appreciate the time you took to write and welcome the opportunity to respond.
On January 24, 2007, Representative John Conyers Jr. (D-MI) introduced the "United States National Health Insurance Act." This legislation would establish a government program to provide health insurance coverage for all United States residents. H.R. 676 has been referred to the House Committees on Energy and Commerce, Ways and Means, and Natural Resources. Currently, no companion legislation has been introduced in the Senate.
I recognize that the large number of people who lack health insurance is a critical problem facing our country. I find it unacceptable that nearly 46 million people in our country are without health insurance. This problem is especially acute in California, where over 6 million people are uninsured. The escalating cost of some premiums continues to make obtaining health insurance difficult, if not impossible, for many Americans. I am working hard to remove existing barriers to health care so that all Americans have access to the services they require. There is no excuse for inaccessibility of health care and insurance should be available for all people. I have noted your concerns and will keep your comments in mind as the Senate considers health care reform proposals.
Again, thank you for writing. If you have any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact my Washington, D.C. office at (202) 224-3841. Best regards.
Sincerely yours,
Dianne Feinstein
