On the Senate health care bill: Thanks to Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken for the support they gave senior citizens in Florida, California, NewJersey and Oregon. With their vote to pass the Senate health care bill the seniors in the Medicare Advantage plans in those states will not see an increase in their premiums.

But those of us who have Medicare Advantage policies in Minnesota will see increases in our premiums.

Please call them and thank them for letting seniors in those states have no increases and Minnesota seniors have increases:

Sen. Klobuchar: (202) 224-3244

Sen. Franken: (202) 224-5641
