Federal Health Reform: The Affordable Care Act
Here's a link to the federal government website for additional information on the Affordable Care Act, written in layman's terms: Health Care.gov
The Affordable Care Act includes a patient's bill of rights that includes no pre-existing conditions--for children starting in September 2010--no arbitrary recission of coverage and no lifetime limits. See the fact sheet for more information.
New coverage for young adults up to age 26
Insurance plans that offered coverage for young adults through thier parents insurance, now must cover young adults up to age 26, regardless of whether they live at home, are in school or are a dependant on the parent's tax returns. Read more
Keeping the Coverage You Have
The federal departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and Treasury issued a new regulation for health coverage that existed on March 23, 2010, that:
-
Protects the ability of individuals and businesss to keep thier current plan,
-
Provides important consumer protections that give Americans--rather than insurance companies--control over thier own health care
-
Provides stability and flexibilty to insurers and businesses to have more affordable choices through the state exchanges.
See the Fact Sheet for more information.
Legislation Watch
HR 4247, Keeping all Students Safe Act
This is the first national effort to address the problems of seclusion and restraint in schools after a recent investigation by the US Government Accountability Office found hundreds of allegations that children have been abused and some even died, as a result of misuses of restraint and seclusion in public and private schools, often at the hands of untrained staff. More information about this ground breaking legislation is available at the House Committee on Education and Labor website.
