For more than 20 years I have been going to Washington to visit with our members of Congress and their staff in order to promote common sense, workable solutions to reform health care.

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has ignited the biggest flap between women’s rights advocates and religious leaders since abortion was invented. She did it by demonstrating one of the flaws in Obamacare: it is so open-ended that the government can make of it what it wants. I am talking, of course, about mandating that health insurance cover birth-control pills.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky told health care advocates that the November presidential election is all about health reform and how far it can be taken.

An Indiana-based insurance company approved to sell health insurance products in Pennsylvania has been charged with small businesses “unreasonably high premium increases” after increasing rates 12%, according to federal officials.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) granted a second round of awards totaling $109 million to 28 states and Washington, D.C., to further implement federal health reform.

A total of 91 people, including doctors, nurses and other medical professionals, were charged in connection with a Medicare false-billing scheme costing about $295 million.

U.S. Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the decision of Blue Shield of California to limit its profits is “a great step forward in lowering costs” for health reform.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has issued rules defining what constitutes too big a rate increase for health insurers.
