Health Care Reform, part 2: The Plan

admin — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 09:19:09 +0000

As our government considers a serious overhaul of our health care system and even a public insurance plan, it is essential that the public understands how more government involvement will impact accessibility, affordability, and quality. Under the direction of Dr. Roger Stark, a retired surgeon with over thirty years of medical experience, Washington Policy Center has launched its 2009 Federal Health Care Reform Project. As part of this project, WPC created these three short, informative health care videos detailing the current state of health care in the U.S., Congress proposed reforms, and practical solutions to the health care crisis. Health care reform is far too important of an issue to be settled outside of the public light. Please forward these videos to your friends and all those who are interested in true health care reform. Consider embedding/linking these videos on your website. We must keep patients in charge of their own health care!
