Health Reform's Impact In VA-10

The current health reform bill in the House of Representatives is HR 3200, America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009. The House Energy and Commerce Committee has done an analysis of how the bill will impact every district in the U.S. Here's their analysis for VA-10, our district, currently represented by Frank Wolf.

America’s Affordable Health Choices Act would provide significant benefits in the 10th Congressional District of Virginia: Up to 18,800 small businesses could receive tax credits to provide coverage to their employees; 5,100 seniors would avoid the donut hole in Medicare Part D; 1,500 families could escape bankruptcy each year due to unaffordable health care costs; health care providers would receive payment for $55 million in uncompensated care each year; and 41,000 uninsured individuals would gain access to high-quality, affordable health insurance. - The House Energy and Commerce Committee

Just something to keep in mind when it comes up for a vote in September.
