Rest In Peace To A Congressional Giant

****

The Detroit News

Michigan Democrat John Dingell, the longest-serving member ever of Congress who helped write most of the nation’s major environmental and energy laws, died Thursday, his wife said. He was 92.

The Dearborn statesman was a champion of the auto industry and was credited with increasing access to health care, among other accomplishments. Dingell helped write most of America’s major environmental and energy laws.

In 1943, my father was one of the first people to introduce comprehensive health care reform in Congress, a single-payer system for all.

But his effort wasn't as successful in '43. The Wagner-Murray-Dingell bill to create a national health program ultimately died in committee.

He never would get to see universal health care become law. He passed in 55 and I decided to run to replace him, vowing to keep up his work.

In 1957--and every Congress thereafter--I'd reintroduce my father's bill & work to create a national program to take care of those in need.

It's tough to see in the photo, but I had McCormack & others sign the gavel. They made me sign too. All told, my pop would have been proud.

It was an accomplishment but was not my end goal. I continued to reintroduce my father's bill every year. As pieces of it slowly became law.

Over the years we'd create the National Institutes of Health, the Children's Health Insurance Program, & many other efforts to improve care.

We took another shot in the 90s but again came up short. You know who knew damn well how complicated health care could be? @HillaryClinton.

Nevertheless, we persisted. It was an honor to work with so many great champions of our nation in helping to craft the Affordable Care Act.

Hearing after hearing, amendment after amendment. We took the time to hear concerns from all. Republicans were invited, too. They declined.

Our bill aimed to bring certainty to an uncertain experience. You don't hope to have to use insurance. But if you do, it needs be damn good.

—
John Dingell (@JohnDingell) March 22, 2017

So we fought to expand coverage. We worked to lower costs. We wanted the American people to finally KNOW what their plan actually included.

Before this, many had to decide between bankruptcy or death. Children hit lifetime caps. Cancer & being a woman were preexisting conditions.
