Most Americans support healthcare reform when they learn more about it, HHS official says

Most Americans support healthcare reform when they learn more about it, HHS official saysThis week marked the one-year anniversary of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which has optimized Medicare benefits for millions of Americans since its passage, according to Third Age.

The legislation has seen some controversy since early 2010, with politicians debating whether it will create problems or solve them. Additionally, many people in the U.S. do not understand how the healthcare reform law will affect them.

 

  However, most individuals who learn the provisions contained within the bill typically express support and positivity, according to Joanne Corte Grossi, regional director of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

"As people find out and they learn about it, then they are really supportive," she said, quoted by Progress Index. "If you took a poll of the people who walk out after one of my presentations, you would probably find 90 percent who support it. Once they find out what's in the bill, the vast majority of people want it."

Under the law, seniors can receive free preventive care services, as well as significant discounts on both brand name and generic prescription medications. In the state of Virginia, more than 80,000 older Americans received rebate checks last year, according to the news source.
