  • Affordability and Coverage Provisions in Final Health Reform Legislation
    An open letter to President Barack Obama and Members of the fJ.S. Senate and House of Representatives in support of strong affordability and coverage provisions in final health reform legislation Dear President Obama and Members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives: The United States is closer than ever before to making quality affordable health care available to all families. Yet, health care reform can only succeed if it makes coverage truly affordable for ordinary families who are frnding it more and more diffrcult to get the care they need. Requiring people to purchase health insurance that costs too much and covers too little would frustrate the fundamental goals of health reform and undermine the public support needed to pass and sustain reform. The House of Representatives has passed health reform legislation that would cover 36 million people,96 percent of all legal residents. The House covers five rnillion more people than the Senate. We urge you to support the coverage provisions in the House bill, so that millions of Americans are not left uninsured after the passage of comprehensive health reform. On the critical question of making coverage affordable, the House legislation sets premiums and out-of-pocket costs at levels that are likely to be affordable to lower- income working families. The House does a much better job in protecting lower- income people. The Senate approach provides somewhat better protections for middle-income workers, but would require lower-wage workers to buy insurance that costs many thousands of dollars more than the House legislation. We urge you to take the best elements of both approaches to create legislation that would protect all families from costs they cannot afford.

  • Pleads Guilty to Mortgage Fraud; Cox Still at Large
    United States Attorney David E. Nahmias Northern District of Georgia FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Patrick Crosby 05/15/06 (404)581-6016 http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/gan/ FAX (404)581-6160 HAUCK PLEADS GUILTY TO MORTGAGE FRAUD; COX STILL AT LARGE Rebecca Hauck Pleads Guilty to Mortgage Fraud Conspiracy Involving Several States While Co-Defendant Matthew Cox Remains a Federal Fugitive Atlanta, GA - REBECCA MARIE HAUCK, 34, of Tampa, FL, Las Vegas, NV and most recently Houston, TX, pleaded guilty today in federal district court to mortgage fraud conspiracy and bank fraud. “This case involves significant losses to victim lenders in several states. Even worse, the scheme clouded property titles on numerous residences when the defendants stole homeowners’ identities and placed multiple loans on the houses” said United States Attorney David E. Nahmias. “We hope the public can help us locate Matthew Cox so that he too can be brought to justice.” According to United States Attorney Nahmias and the information presented in court: HAUCK and co-defendant MATTHEW BEVAN COX rented properties from true owners and fraudulently erased mortgage liens on the properties. The defendants then stole the identities of the owners and fraudently obtained multiple new mortgage loans on the properties. After they executed the scheme in one location, they changed locations and perpetrated the same fraudulent scheme. HAUCK and COX used stolen identities to obtain drivers licenses, purchase vehicles, lease mail drops, rent apartments and open bank accounts to receive scheme proceeds in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, South Carolina and North Carolina. COX obtained a number of the stolen identities from homeless people by posing as a Red Cross worker taking a survey.
