HEALTH CARE 
Few issues have as direct an impact on as many people as does health care. Senator Levin has worked with many of his colleagues in the Senate in supporting legislation to make health care coverage affordable and accessible to all Americans. Examples of these measures are the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP); mental health parity; the Patients' Bill of Rights, which would assure that doctors, nurses and medical professionals � rather than insurance companies � make medical decisions for patients; legislation to allow Medicare to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices; and combating heroin addiction with a newly FDA-approved medication. |

Reproductive Rights
While people of good will often have difficulty finding common ground on the issue of reproductive rights, Senator Levin respects the deeply held beliefs of those on both sides of the debate. more >
