February 13, 2012: The Senate will convene at 2:00 p.m. on Monday. Following any Leader remarks, the Senate will be in morning business until 4:30 p.m. with Senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each. Following morning business, the Senate will consider the nomination of Adalberto Jose Jordan, of Florida, to be U.S. Circuit Judge for the 11th Circuit with one hour of debate equally divided and controlled between Senators Leahy and Grassley or their designees. Upon the use or yielding back of time (at approximately 5:30 p.m.), the Senate will vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the Jordan nomination.
My husband is 57 years old. He had a heart attack in 1986, a by-pass in 1995, another in 2007 and a stroke in January 2009. He has been self-employed for many years.
Our monthly premium is $847.00 per month with an out of pocket of $7,500. Originally they wanted $1,150.00 per month so we ended up having such a huge out of pocket. It seems like the thing he needs the most will become the thing he can’t afford to keep.
He served 2 tours of duty in Vietnam and had been turned down for benefits until last month. Now he will get the medicines from the VA, but we have spent huge amounts of money on deductibles and co-pays since 1986. His future for returning to work is grim. Health care would be more important than ever to him and many others just like him. Please don’t ever give up on healthcare.
