    John,
    Thank you for announcing. While he did not start to speak until 7, he spoke about the state of health care before 2010 (when the ACA passed) and some of the changes it brings. I am used to speaking the actual managing of what coverage you will have with it, what you can expect it to cost and how you can cover your deductibles and copays (a health strategy instead of just health insurance).
    Keep announcing!
    Also thank you for getting my new ad up!
