Billy McKinney (February 23, 1927-July 15, 2010, Atlanta, Georgia[1])
was a former American politician from the U.S. state of Georgia. A
Democrat, McKinney served in the Georgia House of Representatives.
McKinney was the father of former United States Representative from
Georgia Cynthia McKinney.

McKinney was born in Abbeville in Wilcox County, Georgia. He attended
the Atlanta Public Schools and Clark College, and was a decorated
veteran of the United States Army. He was credited with integrating
the Atlanta Police Department and spearheading the efforts of the Afro-
American Police League. Interstate 285 ("the Perimeter") is known as
the "James E. "Billy" McKinney Highway" between I-20 in northwest
Atlanta and I-75 near Cumberland Mall.[2]

When you hear about the new health reform law these days, too much
talk is focused on the political.


What I've found is that most Americans just want to know how this new
law helps their families stay healthy -- and how it reduces their
costs.


The first thing I tell people who ask about the Affordable Care Act
is
that, for moms like me, it makes our lives easier. It gives families
control over their own care. And it gives us the comfort of knowing
that our insurance will be there when we need it most -- especially
if
we get sick. Then I tell them that it gets better, but there's a lot
to know. To help, this administration has set up HealthCare.gov,
where
folks can see customized information about how care will improve for
their families.


So much of what makes this law great is its emphasis on preventive
care -- right now, too many people aren't getting the check-ups or
the
screenings they need to stay healthy. Twelve percent of kids haven't
seen a doctor in the past year. And 59 million adults -- and 11
million children -- depend on an insurance plan that does not cover
basic immunizations.


Health reform is changing that. Under this new law, all new private
plans will provide basic preventive services -- things like childhood
immunizations and checkups, mammograms, colonoscopies, cervical
screenings, and treatment for high blood pressure -- absolutely free
of charge. No copay. No deductible. No co-insurance needed.


And, on HealthCare.gov, you can not only learn what preventive steps
will help keep your family healthy, but also what insurance coverage
options are available based on your needs.


A focus on prevention will help us to combat diabetes, heart disease,
and high blood pressure -- chronic illnesses that right now lead to
seven of ten deaths in the United States and 75 percent of our
national health care costs.


And it will help us tackle an issue that is dear to my heart --
childhood obesity. As some of you know one of my top priorities as
First Lady is the Let's Move! campaign, where we have made it our
goal
to put a stop to the challenge of childhood obesity within a
generation, so children who are born today grow up at a healthy
weight.


Each of us needs to take responsibility for our own health and the
health of our families, and the new health reform law can help.
That's
why I'm writing today -- to make sure you and Americans across the
country know how their health plans are getting better day by day
under reform.


Please visit HealthCare.gov and find out more about your care:

Thank you,


Michelle Obama
