Obviously, I am buried under health reform these days but I wanted to send out a few quick bullet points about the Baucus health reform bill that might be of interest to people with disabilities.  I’ve always said that comprmise is where everybody goes away unhappy.  Max Baucus’ health reform bill from the Senate Finance Committee claims to “ensure this package works for patients, for health care providers and for our economy” and right now, it looks like everyone is unhappy with this supposedly middle-ground legislation.

 There are a number of significant issues that will seriously impact people with disabilities' access to health insurance and health care, including a few that you might not expect.

To find out more about "free riders," the insurance mandate and durable medical equipment (among many other things) from the Senate Finance bill explained in plain English, please visit:  http://dayinwashington.com/?p=391
