What Health Care Reform Means for You
HEALTH CARE CAN'T WAIT
A lot of angry, over-the-top rhetoric is muddying our discussion of health care reform. To help clear things up, here's a brief summary of President Obama's plan, including how it will stop insurance company abuses and help you-even if you currently have a strong health benefits plan.
HEALTH CARE REFORM WILL STOP INSURANCE COMPANY ABUSES. Insurance companies won't be able to refuse to pay a claim or give you coverage because of "pre-existing" conditions.
Your out-of-pocket expenses will be capped. No more going broke because of serious illness or injury.
Insurance companies won't be allowed to charge women higher rates than men or drop you if you get sick.
Insurance companies will have to cover your children until age 26 instead of dumping them at 19.
Health care reform will hold down rising costs. A public health insurance option will force private insurers to compete and will lower costs for everyone. By requiring companies to pay their fair share, we'll stop them from dumping their health care costs on the rest.
Health reform means affordable care will be there for you, no matter what. If you lose your job, or you loses his. If you get sick. When you retire. Affordable health care will be there for you, no matter what: means you and your family can't fall throught the cracks and won't go broke because of health care bills.

We are so close to real reform, but getting over the finish line will be a battle. We are up against giant insurance companies, a Republican Party that wants President Obama to fail and the corporate media like Fox and Rush Limbaugh.
The reality is that health care costs are spiraling out of control, and everyone in America deserves quality and affortable care. Health care reform simply can't wait. We will all be better off with real reform. thank you for everything you do, and please forward this e-mail far and wide.
