Democratic Governors Urge Congress to Act on Health Insurance Reform
Date:9/22/2009

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Democratic Governors are urging Congress to act on the President's health insurance reform plan after productive conversations in the past week with House and Senate leaders.

"Governors are doing our best to help families struggling to pay for health care. We're all grappling with state budgets that are strained with the spiraling cost of health care," said Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer, chair of the Democratic Governors Association.

"If we are truly going to reduce costs for small business and families and expand access to affordable, quality health care, we must hold insurance companies accountable."

Several Democratic governors participated in the conversations with members of Congress to express their concerns and hear more from lawmakers about their plans.

"We had productive conversations. The lawmakers heard our concerns and they understand where we're coming from," said West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin, who is the DGA's chair emeritus. "While I want to see more details, I feel good about where this is headed, and I want to see reform passed this year."

"Governors feel a real sense of positive momentum about health insurance reform," said Michigan Governor Jennifer M. Granholm.

I urge our federal partners to pass health insurance reform into
