Kreidler Meet The Effort To Reform Health Care Repeal

On the eve of the vote to repeal the health care reform, the Commissioner Kreidler joined Governor Chris Gregoire in the Washington delegation letter touting the progress to date and will improve access to care services for the law, if it remains. Cried several new authorities to protect consumers are already being treated with our family, friends and neighbors:

* Children who have significant health care needs may not be expelled from the insurance plans.

* Young adults can remain on their parents health plan until age 26.

* Not more cost-sharing for preventive services including cancer screening and vaccinations.

* People who already have one that I have been assured for at least six months, receive health insurance through a plan funded by the federal government pre-existing condition insurance.

* Small businesses that offer their employees health insurance can get tax relief.

In its press release issued in Washington yesterday Rearch Public Interest Group, "said Kreidler Putting politics aside, the current health insurance system is unsustainable. Washington families and businesses are hurt. They contacted the office every day, asking help, because they can not find or afford insurance coverage they have. Starting a new force to help the reforms, but reforms are needed throughout the year 2014. All efforts to repeal the health care reform has become short-sighted and only hurt consumers. "

Kreidler, and Gregoire and recognize a letter to the delegation that the provision of affordable care for the law can not be perfect, but they make the argument that repealing - and all the work has been done so far to implement the reforms - would be a giant step backwards in our state and nation.
