Health Care Reform: Democrats Discuss Long-Term Services
June 8, 2009 —Democratic Senators are drafting legislation to assure affordable, high-quality health care for every American. Health reform should ensure vulnerable populations have access to coverage that meets their needs -- including long-term services and support. Senator Tom Harkin joined other advocates for individuals with disabilities today at the Capitol. Chaired by Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrats in the Senate's HELP Committee (Health, Education, Labor and Pensions), are working to include long-term services in health reform.
