Letter of thanks to Rep. Oelslager, Sponsor, and Co-sponsors of HB 315

From Kathie Bracy, September 21, 2007
Subject: Thank you for your sponsorship of HB 315

To the Honorable W. Scott Oelslager and other Honorable Representatives included in this e-mail:

Dear Rep. Oelslager and others,

As the Sponsor and Co-sponsors of HB 315, I want to express my sincere thanks to all of you for sponsoring this initiative. Knowing there are legislators such as you who recognize the needs of Ohio's retired educators enough to support legislation that, if passed, will alleviate one of their greatest fears -- losing their health care when they need it most -- is most gratifying to those of us who are affected.

You already know the dire condition of America's and Ohio's health care. Passage of HB 315 will go a long way toward keeping thousands of Ohioans alive and healthy and off the state's welfare and Medicaid rolls.

I know I speak for many others when I say thank you. Now the real work is ahead of us -- garnering support from many corners to get this bill passed. You can be sure that my fellow retired educators and I will be working hard on this.

Kathie Bracy
Retired Ohio teacher and member of STRS, OEA-R and ORTA
