Cinergy Health expresses concern over Senate healthcare vote

Dec 22 2009

Cinergy Health, a nationwide provider of guaranteed issue health insurance benefit programs for the consumer market, expressed its concern for the ongoing healthcare debate and vote in the Senate, which passed early this morning.

"While the Senate and House healthcare bills are far from perfect, the Monday morning vote is at least a step towards expanding access to affordable health coverage for all Americans," said Daniel Touizer, CEO of Cinergy Health. "However, true healthcare reform needs to address the real root issue, which is prevention and education," Touizer said.

"We can't lose sight of our ultimate goal, which is to improve the health of all Americans," said Dr. Margaret Lewin, medical director of Cinergy Health. "As a physician I hope finally to be compensated financially for the extraordinary amount of time my staff and I spend providing quality patient care, working with providers and communicating with patients and family, and providing preventive and early detection services," Lewin said.
