A report on health care reform from the ADA's President, Congressman Jim
For Immediate Release, August 4, 2003, Issue #1
Welcome back to the American Health Security News. From 1993 to 1995, when
the national health reform debate was among our top national priorities, I published this same newsletter. My intent is to give readers an update on universal coverage news, to discuss national health care and other health reform proposals, and to identify information resources for news media and Congressional offices following the health care reform debate. I sincerely believe health care reform is becoming an unavoidable issue once again -
there is recognition that our system is broken and we are quickly running
out of options.
In this first issue, you will see a summary of the health reform proposals
of Democratic Presidential candidates, including Governor Howard Dean,
Senator John Edwards, Representative Richard Gephardt, Senator John Kerry,
and Representative Dennis Kucinich (other candidates have not issued
detailed plans). The intent of these analyses is to provide an overview of
the approach each candidate has taken, with sufficient detail to provide an
understanding of each approach. These analyses are based on press reports,
articles and documents provided by their campaign offices. As such, these
analyses are not comprehensive and reflect my interpretation.
