Hi folks, Wednesday was a fabulous day at the Capitol in Hartford. Hundreds of us wore our red Healthcare4every1 tee shirts and had a fab time. I spoke w/several Reps from NW CT. Most were pro HB6600; however, Craig Miner from the 66th district is totally against this bill. I asked him directly why and his reply was "We can't afford it". I replied that "We can't afford NOT to pass this bill". He then tried to dismiss me, but I managed to ask him "Mr. Miner, would you be interested in trading your health care package for mine?", at which point he walked away. I did hear very positive responses from Roberta Willis and Joe Taborsak. Also got the opportunity to testify at Sen. Andrew Roraback's office. He has indicated that he is embarrassed by his coverage and is also for passage of this bill. We must continue the fight and bring it all the way to the White House.
