Dear Ms. Chinea:

Thank you for your letter regarding the health care proposal outlined by the President in his State of the Union address. I appreciate hearing from you on this issue and welcome the opportunity to respond.

I find it unacceptable that 47 million Americans and 6.5
million Californians do not have access to affordable health insurance. I have concerns regarding the President’s proposal that depends on tax deductions as a form of assistance. With 55 percent of the uninsured not eligible for tax deductions because of their low income, I do not see how the proposed tax deductions
will help them obtain health coverage. Be assured, I am
committed to working with my Senate colleagues to address the need to expand access to affordable health insurance.

Again, thank you for writing. Should you have any further questions or comments, please feel free to contact my Washington,D.C. office at (202) 224-3841. Best regards.

Sincerely yours,

Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator

'A report called “Borrowing to Stay Healthy.”' Hmph. Nobody's borrowing to stay healthy. "Borrowing to Avoid Death" is what they meant. I wonder how an insurance industry ad campaign about those awful higher premiums and endless waits would go over now?
