Your Nov. 16 article (“Harkin ready to fight for health care”) was quite encouraging. He will be attempting to guard against President Obama's Health Care and Patient Protection Act of 2010 from being gutted.
It was interesting that Sen. Chuck Grassley was an obstruction to this policy even though he once was asked why the American people don't have the same health care that members of Congress have. Iowa is lucky to have Harkin to counteract Grassley's policies.
