Doctors Support House Health Reform Plan
  American Medical Association Endorses Legislation as Committee Holds Mark Up

(Washington D.C.)- Rep. Sander Levin issued the following statement after the American Medical Association endorsed H.R. 3200, the America’s Affordable Health Choices Act.

“Doctors are on the front-lines of our health care system so the AMA ‘s comprehensive statement of support is a major validation of the path we are on to cover all Americans, reduce costs, increase prevention and improve quality of care,” said Rep. Levin.

“Momentum is building for health care reform.  I look forward to continuing the discussions with all key stakeholders until we have a comprehensive, cost-efficient and affordable health care system for all Americans,” Levin concluded.

Both the Ways and Means Committee, on which Rep. Levin serves, and the Energy and Commerce Committees are considering H.R. 3200 today.
