Alexandria, VA -- When Congress returns after Labor Day, the contentious health care reform issues that they left unaddressed in August will be waiting to welcome them back. There has been and will be intense debate on how to expand coverage to the uninsured.

The Council for Affordable Health Insurance believes a foundation already exists to cover the uninsured and reduce costs. In our new paper, "Access to Coverage: Building on Current Protections," we outline how policymakers can build on exisiting reforms such as HIPAA and how states can also play a significant role. Using these reforms as a roadmap can help us seal the cracks that some Americans fall through without adding a huge fiscal burden.
