WASHINGTON, DC- Following President Obama’s address to a Joint Session of Congress, U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) released the following statement:
“The President tonight helped to show the real stakes in this debate. He helped to cut through the misinformation and rhetoric of the special interests that have diverted attention away from the real issues.
“What we do in Washington can have a very real, positive impact on the health and well-being of Americans who have been denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition, who worry about losing their health insurance or who have no coverage at all.
“We have made progress on health insurance reform, but we have work to do to get to the finish line. President Obama’s leadership will help get us there.”
