The issue that is top of mind for the overwhelming majority of Constituents is the push being made by the Obama Administration for health care reform and the legislation to enable it. Both the pro and con sides are calling our office in significant numbers to advocate for their position.
The specific approach that is being discussed is referred to as a 'trigger' clause. What this means is that the the legislation being proposed would require private health care insurers to come up with new policies to cover more Americans. Failing to do this, the legislation would provide for a 'trigger' that enacts public provided health care insurance.
Callers run the range from those who are quite emotional about the issue, to some who have done great research into the need and implications of such legislation, to those who are connecting because of an organized effort by a group that they belong to who are conducting a mass appeal campaign.
On a quick side note: Happy Birthday Washington, DC! It was on June 11, 1800 that the federal government gave the newly formed city of Washington, District of Columbia the designation as the Capital of the United States government.
