And, Courtney is behind new aid to dairy farmers – some $290 million – which could come by Christmas. Join the conversation! What questions do you have for Congressman Courtney?









Current show - Health Care Reform
Hi.
I am happy that the Health Care bill seems to require coverage of people regardless of pre-existing conditions.
However, I have not heard whether there is a cap on the cost.
For example, if I had diabetes and a couple of other illnesses, would I be able to afford health care, even if I wasn't turned down?
Great show!
Thank you.
