Health Care Reform

National Breast Cancer Coalition's Annual Advocacy & Training Conference began on Saturday, April 30, 2011 and will continue through Lobby Day on Tuesday, May 3.

I'm attending this year and will post some updates throughout the week. Please take time to visit NBCC's web site to learn more about the Breast Cancer Deadline 2020 and the national legislative priorities. 

The Dept. of Health & Human Services announced improvements today in the new Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan program. This program, part of the sweeping health care reform law enacted this year, provides states with funds to establish low cost insurance pools for people who can't get affordable insurance due to pre-existing health conditions.
