Obama succeeded on health care law. Is that Good for America? (150)

Proudamerican100: That's nice tell it to the man who now works at a fast food resteraunt and is making minium wage who has the choice brtween food for the baby or my mandated health coverage or I will be fined I think everyone has agreed they want a good health care plan but this one is not even a good bandaid. Don't hold your breath on this helping the economy either. Did you think that this was free healthcare for everyone who needed it? Hate to tell the feller his insurance will be going up and soon.
And they have been working on this plan how long

1. Once reform is fully implemented, over 95% of Americans will have health insurance coverage, including 32 million who are currently uninsured.

2. Health insurance companies will no longer be allowed to deny people coverage because of preexisting conditions—or to drop coverage when people become sick.

3. Just like members of Congress, individuals and small businesses who can't afford to purchase insurance on their own will be able to pool together and choose from a variety of competing plans with lower premiums.

4. Reform will cut the federal budget deficit by $138 billion over the next ten years, and a whopping $1.2 trillion in the following ten years.

5. Health care will be more affordable for families and small businesses thanks to new tax credits, subsidies, and other assistance—paid for largely by taxing insurance companies, drug companies, and the very wealthiest Americans.

6. Seniors on Medicare will pay less for their prescription drugs because the legislation closes the "donut hole" gap in existing coverage.

7. By reducing health care costs for employers, reform will create or save more than 2.5 million jobs over the next decade.

8. Medicaid will be expanded to offer health insurance coverage to an additional 16 million low-income people.

9. Instead of losing coverage after they leave home or graduate from college, young adults will be able to remain on their families' insurance plans until age 26.

10. Community health centers would receive an additional $11 billion, doubling the number of patients who can be treated regardless of their insurance or ability to pay.

motherload: You got your information from move on.org???Mr.Soros isnt allowed in some countries in Europe i wonder why? 1.Once reform is implemented-I know of no one who is denied coverage just go to emergency room. Now when this is fully implemented we will have doctor shortages,rationing of care,government paid abortions. 2.Health insurance companies-they will be out of business in 4 years (this is the plan) 3.members of congress-they have the best coverage now-why wont they vote for the same coverage we are getting. 4.federal budget deficit-if you believe this i can sell you land in Sweden oh you are from Sweden. 5.more affordable- to who?? 6.maybe 7.reducing health care costs for employers-wow save 2.5 million jobs you have got to be kidding me just like passing the stimulas bill-unemployment wouldnt go above 8%. 8.medicaid expanded-16 million low income people-who will pay for this??We can always print more money. 9.mom and dad are happy. 10.community health centers 11 billion-I am glad we have such a surplus of money. I guess you foreigners are use to having high taxes and government running every thing.America was suppose to be different with our constitution with limited government.Our freedoms are under assualt.
