I received an email today from one of my senators. Apparently they didn't really read it since it was on the CVRs and NOT health care reform.

Thank you for contacting my office regarding health care reform.


I appreciate your taking the time to share your views with me, and I understand the deep concerns that Virginians have on both sides of this important debate. In the event that further health care reform legislation comes before the full Senate, I will continue to be guided by the principles I set forth at the beginning of this debate. I support meaningful, fiscally-responsible, and effective health care reform that contains costs, expands access to health care, protects Medicare, and reforms the market for health insurance. I am particularly concerned that we protect Americans with pre-existing medical conditions and foster increased competition among carriers. Significant deviations from these core principles would lead me to withhold my support.

As the health care reform debate continues, please be assured that your views will be very helpful to me and my staff. I hope that you will continue to share your thoughts with us in the years ahead.


Thank you again for your interest in this important matter.


Sincerely,




Jim Webb
United States Senator
