AARP applauds House health care reform vote
March 22nd, 2010 - 11:58 pm ICT by BNO NewsNEW YORK (BNO NEWS) — The health care reforms will bring needed relief to millions of Americans struggling with the high cost of prescription drugs and discriminatory insurance company practices, AARP said on Monday.
“By passing this legislative package, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to protect and improve the guaranteed benefits that people in Medicare rely on and make progress toward ending the rampant discrimination used by insurers to deny coverage to those who need it most,” AARP added.
The nonprofit organization sent a letter to each House office informing them that the Association designated last night’s vote as an “AARP Key Vote.”
