More Work Still Needed on Health Reform, Editorial Says
"Last Thursday was a day for celebration in the world of health care," as some provisions of the health reform law took effect, but "this is no time for health care reform advocates to rest," according to a San Jose Mercury News editorial. Citing plans by insurers to "stop selling child-only individual policies" and estimates that the U.S. "will spend almost $2 trillion on health care this year," the editorial concludes that reform "won't be completed until those numbers dramatically change."
