Sen. Lynch appointed to National Conference of State Legislatures Committee on Health

Senator Ann Lynch, DFL-Rochester, was recently appointed to the National Conference
of State Legislatures (NCSL) Committee on Health.

Sen. Lynch said she is honored to be able to serve on this national committee and continue
her work to improve the quality and accessibility of health care in our country. Sen. Lynch
currently serves as the Vice Chair of the Senate Health and Human Services Budget Division.

The NCSL Committee on Health has jurisdiction over state and federal health programs and
legislation. They educate Congress and federal agencies about state concerns regarding
developments in federal health initiatives and programs and grants to states. Issues that are
discussed by the committee include: Medicare prescription drug coverage, Medicaid, health care
affordability and accessibility.

“In addition to making recommendations on health policy, this committee serves as a forum for
legislators to share information regarding health programs and policy initiatives with legislators
from other states,” Sen. Lynch said. “I look forward to the opportunity to learn from other
legislators about what works in their states so that we may further improve health care in Minnesota.”
