Senators must push for affordable health plan that covers all

Nurse Gail Trenfield’s letter provides an inside look at the positive difference the Affordable Care Act has made in the lives of people finally receiving health care. ("We deserve better health care" by Gail Trenfield, Missoulian, May 26.)

Unfortunately, 23 million Americans will lose this lifesaving health care if the bill that just passed the House becomes law.

Currently, the health care bill is being rewritten in the Senate. This gives us the time to call, write or visit U.S. Sens. Jon Tester and Steve Daines, and ask them to create an affordable health care plan that covers all Americans. In this way the senators can “look out for the(ir) common interests.”
