Senator Nelson hosts first state hearing on federal health care reform
From submitted reports
Texas State Senator Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound, Wednesday presided jointly over the state's first hearing on the Texas impact of the recently approved federal health care reform legislation.
"I remain concerned about the impact these unprecedented federal mandates will have on our state budget, our small business employers, and our health care workforce," said Senator Nelson, R-Flower Mound. "This 2,400-page bill is imbedded with provisions that will force Texas to make significant changes to our health and human services policies. We must move quickly to understand the details of the federal legislation and how it will impact Texas."
The hearing included testimony from Health and Human Services Executive Commissioner Thomas Suehs and Insurance Commissioner Mike Geeslin. To listen to an archived video of the hearing, go to http://www.senate.state.tx.us/avarchive/.
