Comment on health care
policy recommendations by August 31, 2006
Citizens'
Health Care Working Group
Your input is
needed on six interim health care policy recommendations before
they are finalized and sent to the President and to Congress.
These recommendations on health care and improving the health
care system in the United States are based on what the Citizens’
Health Care Working Group heard from the American people. Over
25,000 people from around the country shared their ideas. Out of
these ideas, the six interim recommendations were developed. Be
a part of the solution. They need your input by August 31, 2006.
