Our Stance on Health Care Reform

NRF worked closely with the late Senate HELP Committee Chairman Ted Kennedy and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus as they collaborated to craft an overhaul of the U.S. health care system.  (D-MT) for more than a year as they collaborated to craft an overhaul of the U.S. health care system.  Ultimately, NRF was disappointed by the product of both committees.  NRF is working hard today to salvage positive reform from Congressional plans that will impose expensive, job-killing mandates on employers and levy ruinous taxes to fund intrusive new government programs.
