Statement on the status of Health Care Reform

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. released the following statement regarding the status of health care reform:

“I remain hopeful that Congress can put partisanship aside and approve fiscally-responsible legislation that will lower health insurance premiums, prevent dropped coverage and denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions, and make health care more accessible and affordable to all Americans. I hope that we can move forward on those items on which there is agreement, and continue working in the long term on items where we disagree.”
