"So they just passed a health care plan written by a committee whose chairman says he didn't understand it, passed by a Congress that exempts themselves from it, signed by a president who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese............... and better yet it is to be financed by a country that's broke?"

I heard today that they have to change it now because it's not very clear if children with
pre-existing conditions will actually be covered or not.

Thats sounds like a big uhh ohh

the thing about pre-existing conditions. so, they cover the person now, but make no metion of their premiums.
If you have horrible credit, you can probably find credit somewhere, at a sky high rate.
you have several dui's, wrecks, speeding tickets, sure, you can find insurance somewhere, at a sky high rate.
what good does it do to provide coverage if the person can't afford it? unless I'm missing something here.

You're not missing anything, it's like buying a car that doesn't run and even though you don't know what's wrong with it you bought it because you needed a car. So now it's how much is it going to cost to fix the car and let's pay up front even though it won't be running for years. Everyone is still walking...

INSURANCE MARKET REFORMS: Starting this year, insurers will be forbidden from placing lifetime dollar limits on policies, from denying coverage to children because of pre-existing conditions, and from canceling policies because someone gets sick. Parents will be able to keep children on their coverage up to age 26. A new high-risk pool will offer coverage to uninsured people with medical problems until 2014, when the coverage expansion goes into high gear. Major consumer safeguards will also take effect in 2014. Insurers will be prohibited from denying coverage to people with medical problems or charging them more. Insurers will not be able to charge women more.

HELP FOR SMALL BUSINESSES: Businesses with 25 or fewer employees that offer health coverage to their work force will get tax credits. The credits will start this year and rise in 2014 to a maximum of 50 percent of the cost of premiums offered by the smallest businesses, those with 10 or fewer workers.

SUBSIDIES FOR INDIVIDUALS: The aid is available on a sliding scale for households making up to four times the federal poverty level, $88,200 for a family of four. Premiums for a family of four making $44,000 will be capped at around 6 percent of income.

HOW YOU CHOOSE YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE: Small businesses, the self-employed and the uninsured could pick a plan offered through new state-based purchasing pools called exchanges, opening for business in 2014. The exchanges will offer the same kind of purchasing power that employees of big companies benefit from. People working for medium-to-large firms will not see major changes. But if they lose their jobs or strike out on their own, they may be eligible for subsidized coverage through the exchange, and insurers could not deny them coverage.
