Issue Position: Health Care Reform

Issue Position

This year Congress passed and the President signed a major reform of our health care system. I don't believe the reform went far enough and we can still do much to improve it--but it's a start.

The reform law will prevent insurance companies from cancelling policies when you get sick or refusing coverage because of preexisting conditions and allow children to be covered under their parent's policy until they are 26. The law also requires full coverage of many preventative care procedures.
