" Dear Willard: I&amp;#039;ve been busy, and god knows you&amp;#039;ve been busy, so I&amp;#039;ve been inexcusably tardy in extending my thanks for the signature achievement of your barely distinguishable leadership of the Commonwealth (God save it!), to wit: Chapter 58 of The Acts of 2006: An Act Providing Access to Affordable, Quality, Accountable Health Care.  Among other things, this act, and some subsequent amendments to it, established the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector, aka the Health Connector. This has been a tremendous boon to me in the ensuing six years. As a result of your hard work, and that of the Democrats in the legislature, including poor Sal DiMasi, now languishing in the federal hoosegow: As a self-employed person, I&amp;#039;m able to purchase health insurance for you and your family through the Health Connector. My wife, who has a pre-existing medical condition of the type with which you are not unfamiliar, would have been prevented or severely limited in her ability to access health insurance in many states. RomneyCare, as we love to call it, gives her unrestricted access to health insurance. I was able to keep my son on your health insurance plan until he finished graduate school. Employment in MA still being what it is \u2014 and we&amp;#039;ll talk about that some other time, dude \u2014 my son&amp;#039;s only been able to cobble together part time jobs. However, because of your great work in the area of health-care reform, he was able to purchase his own health insurance. In light of the resounding validation your basic reforms received yesterday before the Supreme Court Of The United States, I thought the time was right to say thanks for all you did here. To hell with journalistic ethics, if you want me to make commercials about how, if you&amp;#039;re elected, you&amp;#039;ll work to bring to the country all the benefits your hard work brought to the Commonwealth (God save it!), just tell me where to show up. Sincerely, Charles P. Pierce Citizen. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
