This morning, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law (CAL), chaired by Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9), heard from Elizabeth Edwards, a leading voice for health care reform. She testified on the pressing need for medical bankruptcy reform. More than 107000 Ninth District residents, nearly 17 percent of our population, have no access to health insurance. An even greater number dont have enough health insurance. These families are one medical crisis away from losing their homes, their savings, in debt and they just can not leave the fallen. The only remedy is the registration of medical bankruptcy. Last year more than 4300 components that terrible decision.
