More Security and Stability If You Have Health Insurance, the Obama Plan: Ends discrimination against people with pre-existing conditions. Limits premium discrimination based on gender and age. Prevents insurance companies from dropping coverage when people are sick and need it most. Caps out-of-pocket expenses so people dont go broke when they get sick. Eliminates extra charges for preventive care like mammograms, flu shots and diabetes tests to improve health and save money. Protects Medicare for seniors. Eliminates the donut-hole gap in coverage for prescription drugs. Quality, Affordable Choices If You Dont Have Insurance, the Obama Plan: Creates a new insurance marketplace the Exchange that allows people without insurance and small businesses to compare plans and buy insurance at competitive prices. Provides new tax credits to help people buy insurance. Provides small businesses tax credits and affordable options for covering employees. Offers a public health insurance option to provide the uninsured and those who cant find affordable coverage with a real choice. Immediately offers new, low-cost coverage through a national high risk pool to protect people with preexisting conditions from financial ruin until the new Exchange is created. Reins in the Cost of Health Care For All Americans, the Obama Plan: Wont add a dime to the deficit and is paid for upfront. Requires additional cuts if savings are not realized. Implements a number of delivery system reforms that begin to rein in health care costs and align incentives for hospitals, physicians, and others to improve quality. Creates an independent commission of doctors and medical experts to identify waste, fraud and abuse in the health care system. Orders immediate medical malpractice reform projects that could help doctors focus on putting their patients first, not on practicing defensive medicine. Requires large employers to cover their employees and individuals who can afford it to buy insurance so everyone shares in the responsibility of reform.

Financial Cost Why should sick folks not go to existing local health clinics, only to add more waiting time to exisitng hospitals and clinics? Are all hospitals and clinics open to this reform and or bill and would we people with private insurance have to wait in line to receive medical assistance such people with government healthcare? Every medical facility will turn into a governmental institution Same treatment for every individual, NO matter class status

Worked All my life for nothing…

Constitutionally If I can afford to and so I choose, Will I or will I not be depreciated and is there goiing to be privitizion of hospitals and clinics? What is the name of this reform or bill and or what are we trying to ratify or amend ?

Social Wellfare What social class is benefitting from this reform or bill. As being a financially well off stable individual why should I be taxed more to pay for lower income class and their health benefits?
