Health Care Reform Bill:

Thousands of Americans with pre-existing conditions covered with quality health care. (Before insurance companies could refuse coverage if you had a pre-existing condition.)

Small Businesses will receive up to 35 percent tax credit on premiums to help insure workers. (Before businesses had to choose between providing health insurance or hiring/firing more workers.)

Seniors/Medicare Beneficiaries receive $250 in rebates to help with the purchase of prescription drugs. (Before seniors had to choose between paying the high cost for prescription drugs or cutting their pills in half/not getting their prescriptions filled.)

Children are covered, and can not be denied coverage due to pre-existing conditions. (Before-- children would be denied if they had a minimal condition such as acne.)

Americans don’t have to fear losing health insurance if they get sick. (Before, if you got sick, and could not work, lost your job—you would loose your coverage.)

New health plans— there are no lifetime or restrictive annual limits on the amount of care you can receive from your insurance company. (Before health insurance companies could mandate how many times you could see your doctor.)

Americans are able to choose from affordable health care options. (Before Americans would go without health insurance, and use the emergency room for health concerns. I have personally seen people turned away, at the emergency room, because they did not have health insurance. Now this will no longer happen!)

Young people can stay on their parent’s insurance plan until they are 26 years of age. (Before-- once a person turned 21 to 22 years of age, they had to come off of their parent’s insurance. Today young people need more time to get themselves together. Many are in college or there are exploring their entrepreneurial aspirations!)

Now health care is a right not a privilege! Who could have objections to these reforms that benefit all Americans? I would go further to say, if you have fought or are fighting against health care reform, and you do not have health care insurance-- you are fighting against your best interest, and that is a form of insanity!

If you are have not fought or are not fighting for health care reform, and you do not have health insurance, that is just as insane.

I have health insurance, but I fight and I let my voice be heard for those who do not, because I believe you have to care about the plight of the people. If you don’t, you fall short of what your responsibility as a human being on the planet earth is suppose to be!

Or, for the selfish, if you don’t lookout for others—they will be looking out for you to take your pants, your purse, your jacket, your shoes and sometimes your life.
