AAHC Congratulates Congress and the White House on Health Reform

The AAHC congratulates Congress and the Administration on the passage of the new health reform legislation.  AAHC's support for the measure was mentioned by Dr. Howard Koh, Assistant Secretary for Health at HHS, at the beginning of his commentary before AAHC's International Forum in Washington on Monday, March 22nd.  Dr. Koh quoted briefly from the letter of support sent by Dr. Wartman before launching into his remarks:  While the plan proposed is an imperfect one, we feel that, based on the principles of social justice, passage of improved health coverage deserves our support. A just society cannot continue to have large segments of its population forced to make decisions between their health and their financial well-being.  Because academic health centers have a historic commitment to providing access to care for the under served, the AAHC believes it is unacceptable that tens of millions of Americans lack adequate health insurance.  We will also continue our efforts to emphasize the urgent need to address very substantive health workforce issues, as health workforce reform is essential to effective health care delivery.
