Fixing Health Care

(Congressman Lee gets a demonstration from Buffalo Medical Group on their new electronic medical records system)

Thanks for my visiting my health care site, which is designed to provide you with all the resources you need to keep track of the debate currently going on in Washington.

Western New Yorkers share a widespread concern about the affordability of health care, and rightly so.  In fact, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit health-care researcher found Americans have seen their insurance premiums rise by more than 117 percent over the last decade; out-of-pocket costs have risen by one-third.
As a result, too many families either do not have health insurance or are seeing their coverage slip away.

It is important that health care legislation actually reforms America’s health care system to lower costs, expand access and improve quality – not simply add huge new costs onto the backs of current and future generations.
