The Epilepsy Foundation joins the healthcare community's call for comprehensive healthcare reform. We understand that this legislation is not a perfect solution, but we urge Congress not to lose the momentum and the historic progress on health insurance reforms because of the inability to reach 100% agreement on all issues.

From the beginning, the Epilepsy Foundation has been advocating that any healthcare reform bill must include the following provisions that are critically important to people with epilepsy:

* Allow individuals to keep their current health insurance plans.

* End pre-existing conditions exclusions and denials of coverage due to health.

* Require insurance plans to provide free (or nearly free) routine preventive care.

* Limit out-of-pocket expenses (such as deductibles and co-payments).

* Eliminate lifetime caps and restrict annual limits on health insurance coverage.

People with epilepsy understand that the current system is not working; there are too many obstacles that prevent full access to health insurance benefits and services. If enacted, healthcare reform developed by the Senate and House will make it easier for people with epilepsy to receive the medical care and treatment they need.
