Health-Care Reform Will Remain a Top Priority of the 111th Congress 		   
Summary Statement:

Challenges lie ahead for Congressional leaders

With a rising uninsured population, increased costs across the board and lingering concerns regarding the quality and affordability of the Medicare and Medicaid entitlement programs, Congressional leaders have a tall task ahead to enact meaningful health-care reform. The desire exists for broad changes to the health-care delivery system; however, the economic and federal budget situation may prevent large-scale reform.

While large-scale health-care reform may not occur, significant piece-by-piece actions may take place, which will alter the landscape of health care for the foreseeable future. Democratic Congressional health-care leaders are currently drafting proposals, committees of jurisdiction have been laying the foundation for months with hearings and debates, and the Presidential candidates offered up their proposals—all in the hopes of having a seat at the table.
