He did a lot of things people dont realize he was responsible for, the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) he also personally straightened out a huge medical bill from my wifes MS, i sent a letter to his office years ago with the problem we were having with the insurance company and this huge medical bill, well 2 weeks later we get a letter from the insurance company saying not only is the bill paid, but the deductable as well and included an apology for taking so long to process the bill, I am deeply saddened by his passing, it is a huge loss for this country, especially the elderly and the blue collar guy, that was his strong points always supported the working stiff, and the elderly, gonna miss you Senator, miss you a lot
