Fwd: Health Insurance for RPT's?

[Joel A. Jones]

John, Mark, & List,

I emailed PTG and the attached is the reply comment
on your health insurance questions.  The House
evidently thinks it is a good idea, but the Senate is
not yet ready.

Perhaps a  contact with our local Senators would
be worth our time.
