AARP Calls On Idaho's U.S. Reps To Back House Health Care Reform Bill
Date:11/6/2009

  • Provide benefits to help seniors and people with disabilities live in their own homes and communities - Idaho continues to cut budgets for these critical safety-net programs.
  • Provide affordable health insurance options for those who don't have insurance or can't afford it - 221,000 Idaho residents are uninsured, 88% have jobs (75% have full-time jobs), but costs are simply too high for many.
  • Reduce waste, fraud, abuse and inefficiency in the Medicare program.
  • Require Medicare and insurance companies to provide free preventive services such as screenings for diabetes, cancer and osteoporosis.
  • Prevent insurers from denying affordable coverage to anyone because of their age, gender or health.
  • Limit how much insurance companies can make people pay out-of-pocket.

    • "It's time for Idaho's members of Congress to step up to the plate on health care reform - this issue will only get worse with inaction," added Wordelman.
