McMorris Rodgers appreciated

In a recent letter it was stated that our problem is not government. Rather it’s Cathy McMorris Rodgers and her party. I say wrong.

She did vote for the 37th time to repeal the Obamacare act. I say, “Thank you.” According to a new survey, a majority of Americans still oppose the nation’s new health care measure, three years after it became law.

She has supported the National Pediatric Research Network Act. She has supported the Medicare primary care graduate medical education pilot project in order to improve access to the primary care workforce. She was honored by the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health as “Legislator of the Year” for her outstanding work in promoting the quality of health care for those in rural America.

President Obama promised families would see an average decrease in premiums by $2,500. Average families have seen premiums increase by $3,000. Obama promised all Americans would have insurance. The CBO estimates that 30 million people will still be uninsured after the law is fully implemented.

Cathy is trying to improve our health issues, we have a problem but it’s not her. Thanks again, congresswoman. I support your efforts.
