Washington focuses on Health Care Reform |
|
|
The current overriding focus in Washington is health
reform. Legislation is being debated in committee and President Obama has
called for a bill to be on his desk before the August recess. Every Child
Matters will continue to update you on the health reform legislative process,
particularly as it relates to children, but to begin with, here are a couple of
websites to serve as a primer on what is an extremely complicated subject.
Both the New York Times and the Washington Post have compiled
their recent articles, opinion pieces and blog posts into a more user friendly
one page format. Read the coverage of the health reform debate from the New York Times here, and visit the Washington Post site here.
While neither of these sites is child specific, they both
provide solid background information on the topic.
For a more in depth look at the health care debate from a
child advocacy perspective, visit Speak Now for Kids.
This site serves as a portal to information and tools for advocates who wish to
become more involved in influencing health care legislation.
