Health Insurance Reform: Highlighting the Need for Change
October 1, 2009 —With the Finance Committee voting soon their health insurance reform proposal, ten freshmen Democratic Senators took to the floor Thursday to address the need for change. Together, the freshmen described the dramatic rise in health care costs and the urgent need to deliver real change to our health care system. "This is not just a moral imperative on its own right. It will help us achieve the cost savings that our health system so desperately needs," said Sen. Roland Burris.
