Today appears to be the day the House will finally vote on a Health Care Reform bill and even if it gets through this phase it must be voted on by the Senate then finally get confirmed by both legislative bodies during a reconciliation. The truth is the bill is far from perfect but if it the end it is able to fulfill the following goals (below) the American people should consider it a success no matter where their stripes may lie.
(1) Stabilize Premium prices from the escalations that are occurring.
(2) Give consumers more choice on the individual health care that is best for them and their family.
(3) Lower the Deductibles so insurance really covers you and your family.
(4) Provide help for those with preexisting conditions so they won’t be pulled out or cancelled from existing plans.
(5) Allow health care professionals that might be dangerous yet life saving without losing it all in malpractice lawsuits.
(6) Stabilize medicine and medical devices for those who have seen those rates continue to rise.
(7) Let pools of groups buy insurance that fits the need of their own community and financial resources.
(8) Enable the insurance to go with the person no matter where their vocation may turn out to be.
