CDHP Senate HELP Reform Brief--June 2009

On June 9, 2009 the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee (HELP) released its legislative proposal for health reform.  The 615 page bill details programs that go beyond coverage for the uninsured to include public health, workforce, and systems reform.

The HELP proposal contains numerous provisions that collectively could dramatically improve the oral health of Americans, particularly those who are underserved or disproportionately impacted by oral diseases.
