title: Health care reform--where ADA stands.
abstract: Few issues have galvanized the American public as dramatically as health care reform. Virtually everyone agrees that health care costs, quality, and accessibility require close examination and a prescription for change. Not everyone, however, agrees on the exact nature of this change. It is extremely important that we awaken the public and our policy makers to the vital role nutrition plays in the health care system. ADA is dedicated to this effort. Stay tuned as the health care reform plan unfolds. This effort is likely to be long term and will require your commitment, dedication, and energy to make nutrition services in health care reform a reality.
