Yes I do agree we need health care reform however this bill badly misses the mark. Congress can and must do better for the American people.

Congress is attempting to eviscerate women's health care. Like many women across America I am outraged.

As we get closer to the end of this Congress we should be addressing the urgent needs of the American people - the war in Iraq affordable health care a sensible energy policy quality education for our children retirement security and a sound and fair fiscal policy.

If you're self-employed between jobs or can't get insurance through work you'll have access to affordable health insurance as good as Congressman Paul Ryan's.

If Obamacare is allowed to stand - and Congress is allowed to make the purchase of government-endorsed health insurance compulsory - there will be no meaningful limit on Washington's reach into the lives of the American people. That is certainly not what the Founders intended.

Health care for all Americans is the most pressing domestic issue today. It's far past time for the President and Congress to deliver health care to everyone.

The time is now for Congress to address health care in America.

It is essential that the women's preventive coverage benefit including contraception be available to all women regardless of what health plan they have or where they work - as Congress intended. Providing access to birth control just makes good sense.

My top three priorities for my first term in Congress are growing our economy providing for quality affordable health care and keeping our nation and communities safe.

And whether it is equal pay health care Social Security or family leave this Congress has refused to address issues critical to hard-working American women.
