Posted on: Wednesday, 27 June 2007, 15:01 CDT
CHICAGO, June 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following statement is attributable to Samantha Rosman, M.D., AMA Board Member:
"Today, the nation's physicians established guidelines to evaluate the adequacy of health insurance options. AMA guidelines suggest that insurance coverage include a wide array of age-appropriate coverage options, provisions to assist low-income individuals with high costs, and mechanisms to educate patients and assist them with making informed choices about their health care. These guidelines can help patients develop a better understanding of meaningful health insurance benefits and help protect society from shouldering the burden of uncompensated care."
