Approve health and retirement bill

I am a retired coal miner, having worked more than 30 years. I would like to tell President Trump and the world that it takes an underground coal miner 10 years to get a pension, 20 years to get a medical card and 30 years to retire, and you only get around $1,400 per month. Most older miners don’t even get that.

Trump should urge the Senate to approve the health and retirement bill for miners by the end of the month. Most coal miners voted for him.
