Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–March 25, 2010. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) today hailed Senate passage of key improvements to the landmark health care reform law signed by President Obama earlier this week. The legislation improves affordability by increasing tax credits to help Americans pay for insurance premiums, closes the Medicare prescription drug donut hole and saves taxpayer dollars by attacking waste, fraud and abuse in the current health care system. As Chairman of the Finance Committee, Baucus drafted a substantial portion of the new health care reform law, as well as the improvements legislation, and helped manage both bills on the Senate floor and steer them to passage.
