                                Let me be absolutely clear about our current health care debate: We need a system of health care that provides affordable access to quality care for San Diegans and all Americans.

                                In February of this year, the President signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (H.R. 1), also known as the stimulus bill, allocating $787 billion to create jobs and to stimulate the economy. Today, according to the State of California&rsquo;s Employment Development Department, San Diego County is facing the highest unemployment rate in recent history: 10.2 percent, more than three hundred thousand people. Statewide, more than four million of our fellow Californians are out of work as unemployment in the Golden State has risen to 12.2 percent, and this number is projected to increase.

                                Washington D.C.--The United States House of Representatives passed a bi-partisan measure led by North County Congressman Brian Bilbray (R-CA) and Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) that will expand production of domestic fuel-efficient vehicles. The amendment, included in the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act (H.R. 3183) which passed by a vote of 308-114 yesterday, expands the type of cars that would be eligible for the Department of Energy&rsquo;s (DOE) Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Incentive Program so that new companies and designs can compete on an even playing field with more traditional automakers.
