President Barack Obama last night reaffirmed his priority to provide universal health coverage and reduce health insurance costs, declaring before the joint session of Congress that “health-care reform cannot wait, it must not wait, and it will not wait another year.”
For the most part, the health insurance community´s reaction appears to be supportive, yet cautious. A statement from America´s Health Insurance Plans concurs that insurers “strongly agree that comprehensive health care reform cannot wait. We will continue to offer workable solutions to ensure that all Americans have quality, affordable health care.”
