Congratulations to your mom! What a nice piece of news that was!

Beautiful moment...thanks for sharing it Congressman.

What a great story! I can see where you get your determination and dedication, Brad!

Good for you.

Wall Street Journal, today-US Preventative (sick) Services Task Force recommends physicians "abstain from teaching women how to examine their breasts for signs of cancer". Then they say no mammograms under 50, as "the benefit is small". Tell that to the younger mothers and women whose lives were saved by just these things! It taks 1900 women of ... See Morethat age to be screened to prevent one death. Gee, not cost effective, is it? I guess they mean not DOLLAR effective, for the insurance companies. The women whose deaths are prevented fell it is effective, and so do their friends. It's not like the screening or self-exams are dangerous, so why the recommendation? I think some big money is behind this. Without the self-exam, I wouldn't have found my own cancer, at the age of 43, or it would have been even later, and I might not, okay, WOULD not be here. My 8 year old twins would have been without a mom. What is the motivation for any agency to recommend against teaching self exams-those don't cost money. I don't get it. There are so many younger women whose lives have been saved by the exams, and the mammograms. The ONLY reason to come out with this kind of "guideline" is $$$$. SHAME ON YOU!

Please do vote for the health care you and I both know it is much needed in this country. The majority of the public supports it and you should tooo! Vote yes on the house bill!

I am self-employed. I started consulting 10 years ago and paid less than $200/month for *good* insurance. Now I pay over $800/month for AWFUL insurance. I would like to be able to join a large group of people and purchase good coverage at a reasonable price. So far, a "public option" seems the best way to do that. If congress can come up with a ... See Moreplan that gets me better care at lower cost, feel free to raise my taxes! If I could buy into Medicare A&B (<$600/month at current rates) that would be better than what I have now. Hey, my taxes could go up over $200/month before it would make a difference in my finances. I live in Person County. In District 13. Please vote for reform.

I just always assumed nonprofits would be treated as any other small business. If this's not the case then it definitely should be!

While I appreciate the breaks & concerns regarding non-profits, I am self employed and pay $1000/mo for the only insurance my family can get. Please vote for the health care bill. Thanks!

Good Quote Rep. Miller

I love the understatement. Good stuff!

Stella, you are my hero.

Brad, keep up the fight-they've had things their way so long, they won't go down quietly. But even if it's incremental, progress is welcome.

Cool! My 7th grade history teacher was one of the back-up protesters at Woolworth's. He has gone on to a career in politics in the NC State government, legislative branch.

how do I get involved?

this is great....we need to be prepared if gasoline goes to 20 bucks a gallon....

Say it so, Congressman Miller!!!

have a good ole' English fox(x) hunt...community colleges are our only hopes for relieving the crunch on universities, where four years of studies is way too much for many trades and professions...get e'm, Brad !

North Carolina should be proud of its Community College system, which provides valuable education, training and skills that are needed now more than ever. Thank you, Rep. Miller, for doing the decent thing and standing up for the system on the floor of the House.

MomsRising are doing great work!
