Dear Friends: These are historic and exciting times. A very real possibility exists for transformational national health care reform for the first time in decades. I urge you to contact your Member of Congress and urge them to pass national reform before the end of this year. In my role as Insurance Commissioner, I am working diligently to make sure that we are prepared to implement these reforms here in Washington State. I urge you to visit my official website at www.insurance.wa.gov to stay up to date on those efforts as well as the other work of my office. Sincerely, Mike Kreidler Insurance Commissioner
