When I first came to Congress in 1993, universal health insurance seemed within reach.
Thirteen years later, we are moving in the wrong direction.
Today more than 45 million Americans -- including 8 million children -- have no health care coverage. Millions more are underinsured, lacking coverage for preventative care, prescription drugs, or long-term care.
Dozens of national organizations came together this week to highlight the problem for Cover the Uninsured Week. Read More »

Today, we took an important, bipartisan step forward on the life-and-death issue of port security.
The measure passed in the House today would dedicate $400 million to heighten port security, establish a federal Director of Cargo Security Policy, and calls for a strategy to screen more cargo and improve port security.
I am glad that, more than four years after 9/11, Republican leaders in Congress have joined Democrats in taking action to protect our ports. However, we must do much more to keep America safe.
It was only after an unprecedented public outcry over the Dubai ports deal that Republicans in Washington finally took this issue seriously.
This bill moves us in the right direction. However, we still lack a plan to ensure screening of every container bound for the United States. A single shipping container could contain a nuclear weapon capable of killing hundreds of thousands of Americans. Read More »

Yesterday, I visited with a group of locked out automotive parts workers in Jackson, OH.
There are more than 300 workers at the town's plant who are struggling to stop their employer, Meridian Automotive, from slashing health care and pension benefits after the company filed for bankruptcy last week.
According to union leaders, the Jackson plant is one of the few facilities owned by Meridian that actually turns a profit.
The situation at Delphi is better known, but the issue is the same. CEOs are forcing workers to pay for management failures instead of taking a cut in their multimillion-dollar compensation packages. Read More »

I'd like to thank Sen. Reid and his staff for giving me the opportunity to guest blog all this week on Give 'Em Hell Harry. I'm honored that I was asked to kick off the new site.
I look forward to working with you and Sen. Reid to restore accountability in Washington by winning control of Congress in 2006.
America will be much better served with Sen. Reid as the majority leader than the current crop of rubber stamp Republicans in charge. Read More »
