Dear Professor Sahiba,

I am pleased to present to you my final research paper on Health Care Reform: Moving Closer To A Solution, the topic for which was approved by you on November 8, 2007.

I acquired most of my research material from the Parkland College Library, and internet sources found through the search engine, Google. There was a wealth of information available to use in order for me to write a convincing paper on the reasons for the need for health care reform and why universal coverage is an important goal for our country.

My research in this topic has educated me about the state of health care today and I hope to convey to my readers a need for action to move towards a system that provides health insurance coverage to all.

Sincerely yours,

Laurie J. DiLorenzo
