Rep. Luján Highlights Immediate Benefits of Health Insurance Reform |
March 16, 2010 Washington, DC – Rep. Ben Ray Luján highlighted the immediate benefits of the health insurance reform legislation that Congress is considering. Health insurance reform immediately prohibits insurers from dropping coverage when people get sick, bans insurers from denying coverage to children with pre-existing conditions, and eliminates lifetime and restrictive annual limits on coverage. For seniors, the legislation will provide a $250 rebate for Medicare beneficiaries who fall into the donut hole. “Seniors, young people, and small businesses will all see immediate benefits from health insurance reform,” said Rep. Luján. “Across New Mexico people are being dropped by their insurance companies when they get sick, stuck in red tape when they try to appeal a decision and burdened by the high costs of coverage. We need health insurance reform. It’s time to take on health insurance companies, provide more choices for families, and make health insurance more secure and affordable for families and small businesses.” Immediate benefits in the health insurance reform legislation:
