Schwartz Heads Health Care Task Force

From the inbox:

Today, the New Democrat Coalition launched a health care initiative aimed at dramatically improving Americans access to quality, affordable health insurance through prevention, innovation and competition. New Democrats Allyson Schwartz (PA-13), Lois Capps (CA-23) and Jason Altmire (PA-04) have been tasked with leading the effort. Combined, Schwartz, Capps and Altmire bring over 60 years of health care policy experience to the task force and represent all three major Committees charged with shepherding health care policy through the U.S. House of Representatives.

“The U.S. invests more resources in health care than any other country in the world,” said Congresswoman Schwartz. “Yet, more than 45 million Americans remain uninsured, and our health care delivery system is too often inaccessible and inefficient. We can do better- we must do better. Now is the time to address the shortfalls in our health care delivery system by embracing innovative advancements and effective interventions, and work towards the goal of providing access to high quality, affordable health care for every American.”
