Sebelius: Benefits of Health Reform Law Taking Shape

In a Roll Call opinion piece, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius writes that the new health reform law "contains a series of long-overdue reforms that will put consumers -- not insurance companies -- in charge of their health." She notes that after just a few months of working to implement the law, "we can already see a more consumer-friendly health insurance system taking shape." Sebelius concludes, "We still have a long way to go before Americans can take advantage of the full benefits of the new law. But we can already look back and see how far we have come. And when we look forward, we know we are heading in the right direction."
