Mr. Udall thank you, mr. President. Thank you for the recognition. All across my home state of new mexico, thousands of hardworking people owe their health care and in some cases their lives to the Affordable Care act. Since early january, i received over 10,000 letters, emails and calls from new mexicans pleading with me to help save their access to health care.
