“Kagen is serving the needs of all citizens, including the people of northeastern Wisconsin.”

(APPLETON, WI) Health care professionals and community advocates have praised the new health care reform legislation and Congressman Steve Kagen’s hard work to guarantee affordable health care for all of us.

“Health care reform has been a recurring topic of this new century and most of the last. I am thankful that congressional leaders, like Congressman Kagen, have been instrumental in advocating for the millions of Americans who are either uninsured or severely underinsured. HR 3962, with its emphasis on primary and preventative healthcare will begin to move our health care system in the direction of quality access and improved health for all Americans.”

Kristene S. Stacker, BSN, RN, CEN
Executive Director of Fox Cities Community Health Center

“‘No Patient Left Behind’ was a campaign slogan used by Dr. Steve Kagen as he pursued the seat he now holds as Congressman Steve Kagen. Health care reform was a priority for him long before it became a national issue up for public debate. As a physician, he witnessed insurance companies practicing medicine without a license, and knew the focus had to shift back to the patient. Once elected, his pursuit of accessible, affordable, quality care for all citizens has been his goal. Congressman Kagen chose to arm himself with as much information from his constituency as he could. Through multiple listening sessions at town hall style meetings and regular conferences with a health care advisory committee, I feel confident he has a better understanding of the issues than most. His advisory committee was comprised of interested citizens including, physicians, hospital administrators, insurance agents, social workers, pharmacists, small business owners, and many others with their own view of the issues. As a member of this advisory group, I feel our voices have been heard, and trust Congressman Kagen is serving the needs of all citizens, including the people of northeastern Wisconsin.”

Owner of the Medicap Pharmacy in New London

Member of the 8th Congressional District Health Care Advisory Committee

“Dr. Kagen has stood up to the insurance industry and the other special interests trying to block health care reform throughout the long debate this summer and fall. Kagen has also remained steadfast in the face of undemocratic tactics by a handful of extreme opponents who have tried to disrupt his town hall meetings. Through it all, Dr. Kagen has been guided by his experience as a Doctor, and has not allowed the loudest voices to drown out the voices of the majority of constituents who want affordable health care and more control of their own medical decisions.”

Robert Kraig
Executive Director of Citizen Action of Wisconsin

“We started this debate more than two years ago with the twin goals of making coverage affordable to our younger members and protecting Medicare for seniors. We’ve read the Affordable Health Care for America Act and we can say with confidence that it meets those goals with improved benefits for people in Medicare and needed health insurance market reforms to help ensure every American can purchase affordable health coverage.”
