The Status of Health Care Reform and How it Affects Those with Breast or Ovarian Cancer

As of this writing, the health care reform debate is raging and the Senate is just about to begin deliberating on a bill. This roundtable discussion will provide us with an opportunity to either continue the debate and look at what impedes passage of health care reform or examine the bill that has passed and its possible impact on access to care. This program is co-sponsored by SHARE and New Yorkers for Accessible Health Coverage (NYFAHC).

Richard N. Gottfried
New York State Assembly Member, Chair of the Committee on Health
