Some key points to the bill I watched on the news today:

Insurance can not turn you down for a pre-existing condition.
Insurance can not drop you for a medical condition.
You may keep the insurance you have.

I do not think it was the governments intention of shutting down the entire insurance industry. However, it may be possible considering the premium costs issued by Uncle Sam's Insurance Company. At any rate, something needs to be done. Every year the insurance premiums go up, copay goes up and deductible goes up. It is high time someone makes a wave or two and reel in the skyrocketing costs of insurance. From what I understand we are looking at 30 million Americans needed coverage. Can those that already have a policy with ABC Insurance now get a reduction if the policy holder does not have to pay additional monies for the uninsured that has been going on for decades? There are many holes to cover and thankfully it will be 4 years of hopeful meaningful study of the problems with the current system. I do not see this legislation as all bad and I do not see it as all good either. I see it as a mess drafted in part by a person who basically says the CIA lies. But what do I know Is it November yet?
