Health Care Initiatives

It was a fun, informative presentation today by John Whelan with AMAC Action. Some fun trivia questions livened it up. We learned about the HEALTH Act HR 2986 that would make it easier for low-income patients to find a doctor by allowing private physicians to take a tax deduction for charity care. (Currently this is only allowed for charitable organizations). We also heard about AMAC’s legislative initiative to shore up Social Security which has been dipping into the reserves the last 3 years. By 2032/34 the program will be in a crisis. You can find out more at www.AMACAction.org
