HAA Proposal - Wyden Letter to President-Elect Obama

December 1st, 2008 | by caprice |

Washington is now brewing for a debate about new health care regulations (a.k.a. “reform”). In one camp, we have the Senator Wyden sponsored Healthy Americans Act (HAA), along with 14 other senators. Together they sent a letter to President-elect Obama promoting the HAA and pushing their agenda for mandatory health insurance among other things. The HAA is over-viewed in more detail including its pros and cons in Chapter 10 of Personalizing Your Health Care.
