      On March 9, 2010, attorney Mark Scherzer will participate in the NYS Breast Cancer Network’s 2010 Education and Advocacy Day in a program titled “What’s Next in Healthcare Reform for New Yorkers?” Members of the Breast Cancer Network come together every year in Albany to educate one another and their state legislators and elected officials about the concerns of people with breast cancer, in order to ensure public policy is responsive to their needs.



     Mark Scherzer will speak from 9:55AM to 11:15AM in the Well at the Legislative Office with a Q&A section to follow. He will discuss the issues New York will face if federal health insurance reform is enacted along the lines proposed by the President and how these changes may be inadequate for New Yorkers, especially those with such a serious (and potentially disabling) illness as breast cancer. Mark will discuss how proposed changes may restrict benefits or access to certain therapies for people with serious, chronic or disabling medical conditions. While federal healthcare and health insurance reform will increase access for almost 2 million uninsured New Yorkers, Mark argues that New York must continue to protect those facing catastrophic illness, chronic disease and disability and ensure that their options for healthcare coverage are not inappropriately limited by reform.
