How will Health Care Reform affect all of us in the optical industry? This will be an ongoing question for some time to come. The Vision Council has developed a memorandum to update their optical vision company members on the process and how the legislation may affect us as individuals and as optical business participants. We will be making sure that we review the updates and pass on as much information as possible.
Today, October 13, the Senate voted on health care reform legislation. The Senate Finance Committee approved comprehensive health reform legislation by a 14 to 9 vote, bringing to a close an extended, multi-day markup of the bill. The Finance Committee bill must now be melded with health reform legislation approved by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee in July. This process will be driven primarily by the Senate Democratic Leadership. Floor action is expected within the next two weeks and debate could require at least three weeks.
Thank you to The Vision Council for providing us access to these timely Health Care Reform Updates for the Optical Vision Industry.
