Message to George Noel -- Look on the Red 9 site for all the candidates. There is a person who does not live in the 9th, others who are marginally qualified, and then my husband who I hope will be the candidate -- a coal miner's son, UVA grad, been in business, been around the world, now back in SW Virginia, works with RPV Advisory Council, attended 2008 McCain convention; a true Reagan conservative, etc. Sign on to http://jessee-ring.blogspot.com/ to see why he is running.

Who's running against "Slick Rick"? I have been out of the area for several months and am about to move back. I don't know what's happening, but hope we have a strong candidate running against Boucher. Who is it? I would almost walk bare footed on glass to see that phony bounced our of office!

Dear Mr. Wall,sr,



Thank you for contacting me about reforming our nation's health care system. I appreciate hearing from you on such an important issue. Over the past few months, I have traveled around Virginia to hear from people all over the Commonwealth on the issue of health care. Since June, my office has been contacted over 100,000 times by constituents on both sides of the debate. Hearing from constituents is a vital part of my job as a United States Senator and I hope you will continue to share your opinions with me as the health care debate takes shape.



A fundamental principle that must guide us through this debate is the fact that our current health care system is financially unsustainable. While many are concerned about our Federal deficit, most do not realize that the primary cause of our deficit is the increasing per-person costs of Medicare and Medicaid; by 2017, Medicare will be insolvent. Additionally, American business is weakened by the current costs of health care. Per capita health care costs in the United States are double that of virtually every other developed nation in the world, leaving American business at a disadvantage and unable to compete in a global economy. American families also suffer from the rising costs of health care: within the next decade, premiums will consume 40 percent of an average American family's income. To do nothing about the current state of our health care system would mean exploding our national debt, hobbling American business and crippling family budgets.



Although I do not support a government-run single-payer health care system, I believe we need comprehensive reform to achieve a competitive, cost-effective, and efficient system. This effort should be primarily focused on ensuring that all Americans can get adequate health coverage, and the coverage must be cost-effective and based upon data-driven medical standards. We must ensure that competition remains among health care providers because it is precisely that competition that drives innovation and cost reduction in the industry.



The health care reform debate in the Senate has intensified over the last few weeks, with the Finance Committee passing its version of the bill. Senator Baucus's bill has shown that it is in fact possible to insure more people while also decreasing the deficit and lowering the cost of health care spending in the long term. The Senate is now working on merging this version of the bill with a version produced by the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP); it is this merged bill that will be considered by the full Senate in the coming weeks. Although I do not sit on those Committees, I am actively engaged in discussions with my fellow Senators to make improvements to the bill that will focus on reforming our payment system, increasing transparency in the system, improving prevention and wellness, and strengthening health information technology.



I have taken the liberty of attaching answers to some frequently asked health care related questions. I also update my website regularly and encourage you to visit www.warner.senate.gov/healthcare, specifically the "Resources and Information about Health Reform" section, for additional information. Unfortunately the health care debate has resulted in a lot of myths and misinformation about the various bills being considered. Nonpartisan websites such as www.factcheck.org or www.politifact.org can be helpful in explaining specific provisions and clearing up confusion about this complex issue.



Thanks again for contacting me. As we move forward, I will continue to seek out the advice and opinions of all Virginians in order to help shape an improved health care system that will be in all of our best interests.



Sincerely,
MARK R. WARNER
United States Senator

with at least $5000 in higher annual expences, can YOU AFFORD to reelect rick boucher??

A "no" vote against Pelosi's health care bill. I'd say that's a "yes" vote to try and save his own health care benefits. Doesn't Boucher know we're onto that gimmick He probably thinks with a "no" vote on HC, we will all forget about his support for cap and trade by 2010. I plan to email him regularly to let him know that I haven't forgotten.
