The Contra Costa Times has an article about how health care reform is taking center stage in Congress. Building upon the draft health reform outline released last week by the Ways and Means, Energy and Commerce, and the Education and Labor Committees, Chairman Miller has continued to work toward health care reform that increases access and brings down costs.
Proponents say the reforms will bring down costs through increased competition and provide every American access to health care regardless of employment status or income.To learn more about how the Committee and Congress is working to create a more effective and efficient health care system that will guarantee quality, affordable health coverage for all American families and workers visit our webpage and the Office the Majority Leader's Health Care Reform Clearinghouse.
"I think it's going to happen," Miller said of the restructuring legislation. "People recognize the shortcomings of the system they now have. The economy has shown the vulnerability of families at all levels when people lose their jobs and their health care. It's very hard to see how you fix the American economy if you don't fix health care."
