OK to health care bill will cost seniors dearly

Based on recent correspondence from Rep. Joe Courtney, he is ready to vote for the health care bill currently approved by the Senate.

This bill is full of special considerations including a Medicare Advantage break for 800,000 seniors in Florida. While I, and many seniors in Connecticut, will incur additional costs of about $200 per month to purchase supplemental insurance, the chosen people of Florida will continue to enjoy the rewards of the Medicare Advantage program.

Joe Courtney claims that he is representing the interests of the people of Connecticut. I beg to differ. I can only hope that his failure to do the right thing with his health care vote will not be forgotten at election time.
