Dear Friend,

Today, the Senate made history when we voted to pass our version of the health care reform bill.

The decades-long struggle to ensure Americans have adequate health care coverage has been a long and winding path, with great leaps forward and painful setbacks. We fought for reform in the 1970s, and failed. We fought for reform in the 1990s, and failed.

But now we have the best chance we have seen for a generation. This is an opportunity that doesn't come around often.

The health care reform bill we passed today isn't the one I would have written on my own, given the opportunity. I fought for a strong public option, and I will keep fighting for it every chance I get.

What this bill represents is a compromise that 60 Senators can stand behind, and it takes 60 Senators to pass legislation. And no matter what we may wish were in this bill, the fact is that it retains our core commitments to reform:
* This bill holds insurance companies accountable, making sure they spend more on health care and less on administration and profits. It forbids them from denying coverage because of preexisting conditions.
* It guarantees Americans will have more choices when it comes to health care, including two national plans similar to the ones we get in Congress.
* It makes health care more affordable with tax credits for small businesses. It provides families with the information they need to get the best deals on coverage.
* It ensures that no American should go broke because they get sick, and no American should die because they can't afford the care they need to get well.

We have faced many obstacles to get to this point. The Republican leadership instructed its members not to vote for this bill no matter what was it in, and not a single Republican Senator voted "aye."

They stand on the wrong side of history. I believe they will regret that decision some day. This bill will save lives, lower costs, and free tens of millions of Americans from the fear that they will be left without the care they desperately need.

That's why I have chosen to support this bill. I will continue to do everything in my power to strengthen health care during this process and in the years to come.

Sincerely,

Chris Dodd

Sudan on the Brink: NCP Again Violates Agreement
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) is deeply concerned by reports that the National Congress Party (NCP), headed by President Omar al-Bashir, appears to once again be threatening Sudan’s fragile peace by reneging on previous commitments. On December 22, the NCP moved through the National Assembly, a body over which it has total control, the Southern Sudan referendum bill with new language that the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) did not agree to. Days earlier, on December 20, the NCP rammed through the National Assembly a revised National Security Act to which the SPLM had objected because the Act does not include any new measures that hold the security services accountable.

“Many in Sudan perceive that the U.S. Special Envoy, the European Union Special Representative, African Union countries, China, and others have emboldened the National Congress Party. These past weeks have shown all too clearly what actions an emboldened NCP will take,” said Leonard Leo, USCIRF chair. “USCIRF calls on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to stand with the peace process and play a leading role to ensure the full implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement.” The Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) is the fragile 2005 agreement that ended 20 years of a violent civil war between Northern and Southern Sudan.

“Once again the NCP has violated agreements it made with the SPLM, its supposed partner in the peace process,” said Mr. Leo. “These violations are threatening to derail the CPA which provides the only existing roadmap to peace in Sudan and it is now hanging by a thread.”

These most recent violations of the CPA took place mere weeks after government police and security personnel on December 7 arrested and abused opposition members of Sudan’s National Assembly during their attempt to peacefully present a letter urging the enactment of human rights reforms and other key legislation necessary to implement the CPA. A USCIRF delegation was in Khartoum at that time where they met with senior SPLM leaders and other members of parliament. The delegation was told about people being detained and beaten and saw the bruises of an SPLM official who had been struck with batons and kicked repeatedly.

“The NCP’s latest actions imperil the CPA. An emboldened NCP needs to hear directly from the Secretary that its violations of human rights and repudiations of agreements it made long ago to implement the CPA will not stand,” said Mr. Leo.

USCIRF is an independent, bipartisan U.S. federal government commission. USCIRF Commissioners are appointed by the President and the leadership of both political parties in the Senate and the House of Representatives. USCIRF’s principal responsibilities are to review the facts and circumstances of violations of religious freedom internationally and to make policy recommendations to the President, the Secretary of State and Congress.

Friend --

Although it's Christmas Eve, I wanted to share some exciting news: The Senate just passed a historic health reform bill.

In all the back and forth, it's easy to lose sight of what this incredible breakthrough really means. But consider this: This Christmas, there are millions of Americans without health insurance who risk losing everything if they get sick.

There are mothers and fathers who wonder how they'll provide for their children because an illness has wiped out their savings. There are small business owners who worry that they'll have to lay off a long-time employee because the cost of insurance is rapidly rising.

If we finish the job, all this can change. We will have beaten back the special interests who have for so long perpetuated the status quo. We will have enacted the most important piece of social policy since the Social Security Act in the 1930s, and the most important health reform since Medicare in the 1960s.

In Decembers to come, millions more will have access to affordable coverage. Parents will have the security and stability of knowing their insurance can't be revoked at a moment's notice. And the skyrocketing costs plaguing our small businesses will be brought under control.

When you make calls, write letters, organize, this is the change you're making -- a better life for your family and for men and women in every state.

There is still more to do before I can sign reform into law -- a last round of negotiations and final votes in the Senate and the House -- and I'm counting on your help every step of the way. But for now, I hope that as you celebrate this holiday season, you remember that the work you are doing is making our union more perfect, one step at a time. For that, I am grateful to you.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays,

President Barack Obama

P.S. -- Organizing for America supporters are signing a note of appreciation to all the senators who have worked so hard to make this possible. I hope you'll join them:

Hoyer Statement on Senate Passage of Health Insurance Reform Legislation

WASHINGTON, DC - House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement on Senate passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act:

“I commend Majority Leader Reid and all the Senators who worked so hard to ensure approval of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act this morning. As passage of the House bill did last month, today’s action breaks new ground in the fight for quality, affordable health care that all Americans can count on.

“We look forward to working with the Senate and President Obama to merge the two bills into one consensus product that ensures our goals of quality, security, and affordability in our nation’s health care system, while working to control costs and reduce the deficit. Central to that will be the assurance of middle-class affordability, the containment of costs in the near and long term, and a strong package of insurance reforms that strengthens protections and the decision-making power of patients and their doctors.

“American families, small businesses and taxpayers will benefit significantly from the reforms we will pass, including an end to coverage denials or restrictions for individuals with pre-existing conditions, annual caps on out-of-pocket expenses, an expansion of coverage for young adults under their parents’ plan, and a new health insurance marketplace providing choice and competition for small businesses and uninsured Americans. Whether you currently have health insurance or not, reform will give you the peace of mind of affordable, quality health care at every stage in life.

“Our nation knows all too well what the price of failing to pass comprehensive reform has been, and would continue to be – a rising sense of insecurity for Americans who have health insurance and a growing crisis for those who don’t. We have before us the most promising opportunity to address this national challenge since President Teddy Roosevelt called for health reform nearly a century ago. Today’s action makes it that much more clear that the time is now.”

DNC Chairman Tim Kaine Calls Senate Vote Historic, Says Landmark Health Reform Bill is a Victory for the American People

Washington - DNC Chairman Tim Kaine issued the following statement after the Senate voted to pass the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, landmark health care reform legislation. Democrats passed the bill on Christmas Eve, after overcoming a series of procedural hurdles and delay tactics by Republicans that were designed to stop the bill from ever reaching the Senate floor for a vote on final passage.

"Years from now, when historians look back on 2009, they will recall a Christmas Eve vote in the Senate that took us one giant step closer to finally delivering health reform to the American people.

"The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is landmark legislation. It is the most significant piece of domestic policy since Social Security, the single largest expansion of health care coverage since Medicare and the largest deficit reduction package in more than a decade.

"This bill will help more than 30 million Americans access quality affordable insurance. It will outlaw the insurance industry's worst practices, prohibiting insurance companies from denying coverage because of a pre-existing condition or retroactively canceling coverage when someone gets sick. It will lower premiums for individuals, families and businesses. And it will actually reduce our deficit by more than $130 billion over the next 10 years.

"This bill accomplishes the goals President Obama articulated at the beginning of this debate: more stable and secure coverage for the insured, more quality affordable choices for the uninsured, and reducing the skyrocketing costs of care for everyone, including our government.

"For Senate Democrats - who stand united in the belief that health care is a right not a privilege - this bill represents hard fought common ground. Thanks to President Obama's extraordinary leadership and the legislative acumen of Majority Leader Harry Reid (NV), Committee Chairmen Max Baucus (MT), Chris Dodd (CT), Tom Harkin (IA) and the inspiration of the late Senator Ted Kennedy, Democrats are now closer than ever to achieving what no president in the past 100 years has been able to do. While there is still more work to do in the weeks ahead, comprehensive health reform is finally within our grasp.

"This victory for the American people comes despite the incessant and virulent obstructionism of Senate Republicans. Not one voted in a favor of reform - a crippling commentary on their failure to fulfill the responsibilities of leadership. As we move forward, the onus is on the GOP to explain why they sided with their insurance industry friends instead of American families - why they turned their backs on workers and small businesses who are struggling to stay afloat under the status quo.

"Democrats will continue to move forward; we will continue to make progress; and as the New Year dawns, President Obama and Congressional Democrats will deliver the critical changes to our health care system that have been nearly a century in the making."
