LETTER: Pass health care, the party differences are minimal

Thanks to Rose Nolen for her article about passing health care legislation now. It would be a crime against humanity to allow this opportunity for health care legislation to falter. I listened to the health care summit last week and, in reality, I could hear very little difference between the two parties as they discussed our current system and its need for reform. This legislation should have passed months ago. If it takes the reconciliation method, let's get it done. The Democrats may lose some seats in November, but they will gain them back in a short time.
