Health Care Reform: Guaranteed Access
June 23, 2009 —Under the Affordable Health Choices Act, insurance companies would be required to serve all Americans, regardless of pre-existing conditions or health status. That legislation is being written by Democrats on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee. HELP Democrats today highlighted the importance of health care reform for individuals with pre-existing conditions during a Capitol press conference. Democrats are committed to reducing the cost of health care for families, businesses, and government while protecting choice and assuring affordable, quality health care for all Americans. "Health insurance shouldn't be only for the healthy and the wealthy," said Senator Tom Harkin, "but that's basically what it is today."
