Since there seems to be no other way to contact you... POart of the purpose of this health care reform is to provide health care for the poorest Americans. As one of the poorest Americans, I would like to say on behalf of myself and any other poor American who you have solicted to make long distance calls, to please have the courtesy to provide us with toll free numbers or the phone numbers of the local offices of the Congress persons, House and Senate, you would like us to call.

My real story is that I had adequate coverage under Medi-Cal and Medicare until very recently. I was eager to see the quality of care I recevied extended to all Americans. But then Schwarzenegger cut out all sorts of services to the Medi-CAl budget and I have been forced to join an agency that does not give the same quality of care in order to have access to the services that were cut out of the budget.

***All*** Americans deserve excellent health care. Raise the taxes and let those who have lavish lifestyles learn what it is to live the way most of us do.
