WASHINGTON, DC–(ENEWSPF)–January 14, 2010. With the health care reform proposals currently moving through Congress expected to provide health coverage for over 30 million additional Americans, one aspect of health care reform that deserves further examination is how reform will affect the health care workforce. Today, the Center for American Progress released a new report, “Closing the Health Care Workforce Gap,” in which co-authors Ellen-Marie Whelan and Daniel J. Derksen provide several recommendations to alleviate current and future workforce shortage problems in the health care industry, and discuss how the reform measures currently moving through Congress reflect these recommendations.
