yesthattomU.S. Sens. Feingold, Graham: Introduce Legislation to Reform Health Care Now
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators Russ Feingold (D-WI) and Lindsey Graham (R- SC) introduced legislation today that forces Congress to take up the issue of health care reform during the first 30 days of the next session of Congress – The Reform Health Care Now Act. The Feingold-Graham bill requires Congress to act on a bill that provides health coverage to at least 95% of Americans in ten years while not increasing the national deficit.
While the Feingold-Graham bill does not specify the type of health care reform measure that should be debated, Feingold favors a state-based approach to health care reform, where the federal government would be a partner with the states by providing the flexibility, resources and tools necessary for states to make sure that all of their residents have health care coverage. This approach would achieve universal health care without the federal government dictating to states exactly how to do it.
