Recently, with my strong support, Congress enacted the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (Medicare Improvement Act). This bill, which passed over the veto of President Bush, strengthens Medicare and ensures that seniors and persons with disabilities can keep access to the health care they have been promised.

“Wanna stop an’ have a
look?” asked my hostess
in her soft Tennessee
twang. Did I ever!
We had been driving
through the rural
countryside northwest of
Knoxville on our way to
Big South Fork National
River and Recreation
Area, when we came upon
an assortment of
Victorian buildings
dotting the fields and
woods on either side of
the road.
“This is
the historic town of
Rugby,” she said, as she
parked the car in front
of what appeared to be a
general store and led me
back down the road.
Rugby was founded in
1880 by British author
and social reformer
Thomas Hughes as a
Utopian community, where
colonists could work in
an agricultural
cooperative, while
maintaining a cultured
Christian lifestyle free
of the rigid class
structure that prevailed
in Britain.
