From Patricia Leahy-
Senator Kennedy's Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee recently released a 615 page health care reform draft bill, entitled "Affordable Health Choices Act," which includes insurance market reforms, a prohibition on insurers from denying coverage to sick people, a mandate on individuals who want coverage and marketplaces where people can compare and buy coverage. Senator Chris Dodd (D.CONN.), the second Ranking Democrat on the Senate HELP Committee will lead this legislation through the Senate while the Chairman of the HELP Committee, Senator Edward Kennedy, continues to recuperate from brain cancer. The Committee will mark up this legislation beginning next week.
