What Health Care Reform Really Means to You

1) Eliminates annual and lifetime caps on coverage.
2) Provides support for uninsured Americans with pre-existing conditions to get coverage right away.
3) Prevents insurance companies from denying coverage to children with pre-existing conditions.
4) Allows dependent children to be covered by their parents until age 26.
5) Provides tax credits to small businesses who buy health insurance for their employees.
6) Establishes an independent appeals process for those who feel they were unjustly denied an insurance claim.
7) Provides financial assistance to seniors who were left out of Medicare Part D.
These are all benefits to regular Americans. The Democrat's health care proposals are supported by the American Medical Association (AMA) who represents doctors, and AARP who represents seniors.
I believe those who are against health care reform are looking out for the interest of insurance companies specifically and big business in general. They use scare tactics and lies (i.e. death panels) to fool people into thinking health care is some kind of 'big brother' takeover. They are masters of manipulation getting people to work against their own best interest.
Please educate yourself and don't buy into the hype and hysteria.

Financial reform was necessary. The stimulus package was necessary after the banks failed because of Bush's relaxation of regulations and allowing private industry to run amok.
Now we are looking to reign in the insurance agencies. I see it as a good thing. Unless you think the HMO's are appropriately dealing with things?
