4/5/10 HC Reform Update by Mark Sanna: Congress tucked several provisions into the new health care legislation designed to reduce the huge toll of preventable diseases. Chain restaurants will have to provide nutrition information on their menus. Employers must provide “reasonable break time” for nursing mothers. Health insurance companies will have to cover all recommended screenings, preventive care and vaccines, without charging co-payments or deductibles. Medicare beneficiaries will get free annual physicals. Medicaid will cover drugs and counseling to help pregnant women stop smoking. And a new federal trust fund will pay for more bicycle paths, playgrounds, sidewalks and hiking trails.
