Is This What We Pay For
Edited on Thu Apr-27-06 04:21 PM by pezdespencer
I made a call to Congressman John Sullivan Of Oklahoma on Tuesday 4/25/06
to ask what his stance on network neutrality was well no one in his Oklahoma office knew what I was talking about they refereed me to the DC office then No one in the DC office knew what network neutrality was. they said "I'm sure the congressman knows all about the issue I will give him a msg to call you".

For those of you who do not know the issue here is a link to enlighten you.

So today this is the response I get.

Dear Thomas,

Thank you for contacting me with your concerns about associated health
plans. I appreciate hearing from you and welcome the opportunity to
respond.

In Oklahoma, there are an estimated 571,000 persons without health care
coverage today. We must do everything we can to create a business-
friendly atmosphere that allows small businesses every option possible in
order that they may thrive financially and be able to offer health
insurance coverage to their employees.

Every day small businesses struggle to provide employees with quality,
affordable health care, but can not because of rising costs. Studies show
that AHP's would save the typical small-business owner between 15
percent and 30 percent on health insurance and help as many as 8 million
uninsured Americans afford health-care coverage. Every extra dollar
small-business owners are forced to spend on higher health costs is an
extra dollar that is not going toward job creation and economic recovery.
I believe that AHP's would give small businesses access to the same
health benefit options now available to large corporations and labor
unions. While I have heard concerns regarding these plans, I believe that
the millions of working poor in our nation deserve quality health
insurance.

While we may not agree on this issue, I appreciate hearing your thoughts
and concerns. Again, thank you for contacting me. It is an honor to serve
you in Washington. If you would like more information on issues, or
would like to share your thoughts with me via e-mail, you may visit my
website at sullivan.house.gov. Please do not hesitate to contact me again
should you have further concerns on federal legislation or programs.
This is the iclose.doc for Word
