Dear Mr. Donohue:
Thank you for contacting me regarding health care reform. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.
On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the ?Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act? (P.L. 111-48) into law. This comprehensive legislation will extend quality, affordable health coverage to more than 30 million uninsured Americans and reduce the national deficit over the next decade. It will block insurance companies from denying health coverage to those who get sick or who have preexisting conditions. It will also provide increased federal subsidies that will help middle class workers and families in New Jersey and across the country afford their health care.
President Obama signed a separate piece of legislation, the ?Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act? (P.L. 111-152), into law on March 30, 2010. This legislation makes targeted improvements to the ?Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,? such as closing the Medicare prescription drug coverage gap (?donut hole?) by 2020, increasing the federal share of Medicaid payments to all states and increasing funding to the nation?s community health centers.
While we disagree on the issue of reforming our nation?s health care system, I appreciate that you have taken part in this debate, and I will keep your concerns in mind as these new laws are implemented. Thank you again for contacting me.

Note to Congressional staff & elected officials reading this: this letter was sent through Contact-Congress features on OpenCongress.org, a free public resource website, but in the future we seek to compel the U.S. Congress to adopt fully open technology for constituent communications. For more information how your office can better handle public feedback through an open API and open standards, contact us -- even today, there are significantly more efficient and responsive ways for our elected officials to receive email feedback than the status quo of individual webforms. For greater public accountability in government, we must make the process of writing one's members of Congress more accessible and empowering. Looking ahead, we will release more data from Contact-Congress letters and Congressional response rates back into the public commons. This will result in a new open data source on bills & issues people care about, as well as encourage best practices in constituent communications and make it possible to grade members of Congress on their responsiveness & citizen satisfaction.
