Steve Beshear: “640,000 uninsured Kentuckians will become eligible for coverage, many for the first time.”

What they need is a strong statement from this Congress that says, 'Look. We are committed to every American to give coverage to them.'

Their first duty is to protect the public and not just protect themselves.

Under the law, preexisting conditions will no longer prevent you from getting coverage.

This is not a partisan issue. This is a people issue. And it is time to put people over politics.
