...is a healthcare reform bill with strong affordability provisions for low- and middle-income families.

Actually, that's not true. I want lots of other things. But I really would like subsidies ensuring that people can afford the coverage they'll be required to get if reform passes. Currently, the House bill is better for low-income families, and the Senate bill assists middle-income families more. I'm not sure how feasible it is to expect the final package to combine the best of both, but on Christmas Eve eve, that's one of many things I'm hoping for.

But enough of healthcare for a moment. From this afternoon through the end of the year team FPL will be out of the office spending time with family and friends, reflecting on the year that was, giving thanks for the countless blessing in our lives, and maybe even relaxing a little bit. It's been quite a year for us and our many outstanding partners, and I hope we can make an even bigger difference for justice and the common good in 2010. Happy holidays.
