Re: “Universal coverage touted but details lacking at L.A. forum,” April 7:
Reform for our nation’s healthcare system is long overdue, and pleas for improved access to affordable health insurance can be heard throughout California and across the country.
We need comprehensive healthcare reform that covers the uninsured, makes private insurance more affordable, increases the value our nation receives from its healthcare spending and enhances prevention and wellness for all patients.
There needs to be increased attention on preventive care to help keep Americans healthy and, in the long run, keep healthcare costs down.
